checking in - hold a second absolutely still

radiation day

to not move a single fiber of time, to not let one tick follow another, to keep this second suspended forever, to resist the count, to resist the passing, to resist all indication that this day followed that and or will yet be followed by another to take this very moment and hold it fast. to bring it to a stop. complete. not budge from it. to hold one thought still. completely still. silent.

I breathe nothing but stillness.
