Fear lives in the throat.
I can feel it three fingers down
from the soft basin,
thimbleful of fear.
It tastes of butter and blood
the cheek bitten
the breath drawn in.
Some days it is impossible for me to leave
my house.
All day I eat it down
it mingles with the food
but does not move.
Like a swallow
it circles,
crying.
