Thawing

From cracking jaw,
to hyper-sensitive knees;
bleary-eyed morning beauty,
to deadpan hilarity—
fear never gnawed so voracious.

Happiness fights civil war upon scales,
tipping to fear in guilty deprecation.
Each roller coaster roar (up to down)
euphoria lies erratic—
rapturous if only evanescent.

Forever breeds naivety,
tempered by mutinous heart.
Committed to wild accelerations,
beat
beat to burst in the moment.
