Claustrophobia

claustrophobia is a state of mind
for certain persons whose past lives
held them tighter than they liked
an imagination that the breath shortened
and pressure from outside was greater
than the mind could stand to have
if perhaps they recall being prisoner
in a tomb or a box or a sink hole
where that breath was not free and easy
or somehow they were restricted
by their own choice or another’s
it just seems that envisioning themselves
riding bareback on a racing thoroughbred
with its mane whipping the face
and the air rushing, rushing through the nostrils

that perhaps that claustrophobia would go
