Sometimes

 It sits in your gut
sometimes
rumbling
and rolling as rough 
as the sea

It sits in your chest
sometimes
throbbing
beating your blood 
right through your veins

It sits in your throat
sometimes
scratching your itchy
vocal chords
until you scream 
its song

It sits in your tongue
sometimes
strong
yet 
always trapped  

It sits in your head
all the time
dancing  
an apocalypse party
that never
ever
ends.
