Where We Are Now

by Melissa Panther

I felt you shift
there was no
thought
only instant
action creating
pure reaction
there was only
walls thrown up
edges backed away from
good progress
you're moving

withdrawing raw
moments in your
moments in your
moments fall
away sense
a closure
feign regret
or none

you needed to
hear this
listen it's
how I feel,
real emotion

Just hear
me.

I do.

The repetition in the second stanza makes it read like a glitch, like a psychic "tick" that you work really hard to get over.
