Lips tightening
veins bulging
the heated emotion
coming from a strong point
within
the emotion
the feeling
a current coursing
through the body
rushing to the head
feet on fire
lungs under pressure
the heart-beat audible
palms dry
droplets of sweat
forming on forehead
spine ramrod straight
feet ready to spring
knees bent
arms held close
to chest in poise
ready to pounce.
