Shaking like an autumn leaf,

Though leaves in autumn never shake

As far as I've seen, but I believe

Thats a topic for another time

Wandering thoughts think themselves

Up. A funny direction, up,

When concerning the mind and Its thoughts;

Thoughts concerning the mind, and It's when

I breathe that I brush away

Those thoughts like static; erratic.

Brush away, brush away, brush away,

And hear my heartbeat, slow and steady.

Heavy and empty and calm.

Deathly

- like claws under the skin,

Ominously creeping, bit by bit,

Towards the heart as my eyelids shut.

Hunger hits heavy like stone.

Weak and weary, wanting something

To fill the gap. To force the attack

To stop - here only sugar will do.

A small moment; fixable

But important, to me at least.

The shaking, buzzing, cold and craving,

Make Hypoglycaemia a bitch.
