Voltage-gated pathways are depolarized
and pore-forming membrane proteins
allow calcium influx from adjacent solutions.
(Cell insides become saturated)
Excitation is mossy fiber running
southbound head-stems and paired shoots
through once-relaxed tissue.

You’ve established rules,
preventative measures
gut-principles and patterns
of self-reflection lost
in the feeling
you are held to
head noise
and further itches
(say it’s all removable)
*
Head lost illuminating
small thoughts each concurrent
unoccurring moment hoped –
just wishing this warm attention
throw out
teeth for it
insist on restarting
the sore spots

Involuntary and won’t down-regulate,
particular defenses are stress-receptor
bound fidgets and the feeling follows.
But the cortisol is excessive, hyperactive
little amygdala leaps and pounces
predispose biological tiffs
as tragic. You shout and scrape in
attendant panic.

Adrenal genesis of the headspace is
sympathetic.
The capacity to panic is
self-contained.
You receive stimuli and suffer
response.
Emotional force across synapses to a target cell,
this endpoint you wallow towards,
feel further but can’t
reach.
