A warmth that expands and demands and drives steam into the mind’s chambers.
A hot wind carrying flakes of brittle rust, curling around the chest; abrasive.
A tube carrying ease and motion, behind the heart between the lungs, strangled and pinched and squeezed.
A driver of power, planning and scheduling confidence and assurance and recurring pride.
Schemes and checkmates and victory parades with commentary and scenes behind every scene.
A courtroom of damnation and karmic rebuke.
