i can stand
on my own two feet
but sleeping is
a different story
took me years to find the peace
of mind and ease
of self to rest on my back,
nap with my arms above my head,
but to deep sleep i must
return to my stomach, limbs coiled
beneath my body, torso a bit
contorted, neck arched to pillow,
blood clotted in my joints,
safely, peacefully distorted.
