my hands still shake - last night i dreamed i was swallowing and kept choking
my throat full of water movements and thuds echoed in my chest
someone told me i needed an mri i believed them and found myself naked
paper-thin hospital gown covering laying on a human-sized tray
the machine pulled me in and moaned making a magnetic metallic inferno
stationary tray trembling me imagining every fatal conclusion
results generated line by line in color in real-time my condition
in my chest cavity floating swimming in pristine blue a collection of koi
