Anxiety

You know that feeling
when you walk down the stairs
and you misstep.
That split second when you realize you might fall, fall fall.
An invisible hand rises from your lower belly past your stomach and locks around your heart.

Your breathing stops.
Someone blocked the door to your throat and put a heavy weight on your chest.

That feeling, but for hours.
Anxiety.
