The tile is cold against my bare heels,

and the lid of my left eye twitches and reels.

The screen is a blue and sterile glare

that finds every bone in the hand that is there.

A forum says the nerves are starting to fray,

that the meat of the muscle is wasting away.

I press my palm flat to make the pulse stop,

waiting for the rest of the body to drop.
