p a n i c
i feel the vibration under my feet
the loose bones rattling
the quick cadence, quiet rattlesnakes
overtaking me slowly
i find myself here &
feel the fast succinct
breath of panic unleash itself on me
hot & heavy

I like this!
I particularly like the metaphor “quick cadence, quiet rattlesnakes” as it conveys both the stealthy approach of panic and its potential danger. I also think this poems fragmented structure gives it a nice enhancement. AWESOME
