Anticipation

‘Like waiting for a biopsy.’
Indeed,
and I’m not even directly affected.
This last week
is not easy:
a daily escalation
of tension.
‘What if?’
Try not to slip
down the terror spiral.
Try not to trip out
on how it’s so wrong.
Focus on those
small signs of light
in this dismal tunnel.
Keep breathing,
stop reading
the comments.
Everything ends,
remember;
finally life
will cycle on
and around
as usual.
