out of a crowd.


the space fills with emotions—
                (anger. fear. anxiety.)
                                that crash around and choke the room
                                with their tangible intensity;
                                                they rush about like smoke,
                                                                like ash.
                                                they leave a film on everything they touch—
                                                                except for him.
                                                                                for him, they part:
                                                                                move to either side
                                                                                while, unaffected, he remains:
                                                                                a rock in raging waters,
                                                                                                steady and immobile.
