the nature of distress

[icefish]

distress is not a word, or a feeling
it's an entire state of being
it's the shadow that follows me around
i cannot hide from it
like God
it watches my footfalls

it judges them in earnest
and wispers in my ear
the truth

or things which could be
like a wisper
the shade of black
slinking by my eye
cat like
in the light
