The visceral memory
Of Emotions
Amazes me
That perception of an event
                         of a voice
                         of a place
Triggers a chemical reaction
And stimulates the brain
Does not explain nor express
The pressing of excitement
On the diaphragm
Or the heavy hanging of regret
From the spine
And every emotion
Feels physically different
But equally overwhelming in a moment
Emotions must be the
Forces of my nature.
