The Mechanics of Blushing 101


 
a tight chest aches
arms and legs weaken  
mind blanks,  
numbed into a stupor
mouth goes impossibly dry  
as a tongue lays limp, useless
and surely covered
in every single grain of sand (ever)  
skin burns to temperatures uncharted  
while moistening in brutal flop sweat
from the head to toe
lungs refuse to obey
their function of automatic
eyesight flashes a warning  
a prompt to try and recover
to garner a semblance of control
forcing a traitorous body  
quickly back to a more human color
 

and sheepishly hoping
... that no one caught it
