Knots in Stomach

Knots in Stomach

A Story by Jesse Lancaster
"

I'm tired.

"
A knot
grows, tightens, can't explain
where it comes from or why
I'm feeling this,
like my insides chose to rebel
forcing themselves out through
the hole in my stomach or
up through my mouth,
spill onto the pavement and 
shatter just like the jar
but my brain just stays put,
'cause it doesn't work the way it should;
too slow to tell my heart to wait
and too weak to make these
pieces tessellate.

I guess wanted to know,
no,
I needed to know
is this knot here because of the 
choices I made? or didn't make?
And if it was, what if I did something different?
or if I did something better
will it stay or just break 
a little more with each and every single stupid day?


Another fragment lost in the pile.
