velour

its like that feeling you get
in the bottom of your stomach

when you
swallow
some dip

its like that feeling you get
right behind your eyes

when you
crawl from
a frozen ocean

its like that feeling you get
on the soles of your calloused feet

when you
run on old
pavement too long

it's like that feeling you get
in your ribcage

when you
dont want to
love anymore

the leaves have all fallen
the snow is just about gone
and you are still here
making my palms sweaty
and my head spin
