Rollercoaster

Rollercoaster ride
No event, no trigger, no notice, no hint
Flung left to right, up and down
Always down
Adrenaline infinitely flooding
Tears and sweat rolling
Dripping down
Always down
Something twanging
Pulled taut across shoulders
Across chest
Across scarred soul
Nothing to flee, nothing to fight
Alone towards night
Sun going down
Always down
Glacial ebbing
Gradual release from terror
Passenger no longer
Deep breath, lift head, raise eyes up
Always up
