Tension; forehead sweats — darting glances
    in the dark

Twitching muscles; cramped,
    crouching (for real, or not)

Watching ...
    for who knows what

Quivering stomach; tasting
    salty blood

Throbbing engine of life

Every sound; every click, every scratch, every...

AMPLIFIED

Limited vision, trapped portals

Itching, crawling skin

Damp floor, close walls, darkness

OUT...
    is far away
