Bypassing Pain

reeling to the floor

joining the carpet in despair

comfortable and content

below the air

foams and fibers

keeping pressure off my heart

at least until I stand

 

spread wide

my limbs sense no gravity

and my stomach

is no longer gripped with torture

rough fingers made of carpet

support my head

as light as it may feel

 

heavy and draining

processing the days

more frequently do I lay

comfortable on carpet

awaiting your reply
