jet_lag
Soma & I spend weary hours
fitful sleeping
telling my flesh to accept
what my mind sees true
daybreak and sunset
reversed on the ticking dial
we call this a certain thing
whenever we travel
say it will pass
in brief time

better a lie
than endless this
a worried still when I tell you
i can't hold myself down
in place
only enough
to feel my own weight
beginnings & endings
keeping me urgent
keeping me still

you take care
of the body that still shudders
rising panic
turned soft into your arms
like this lag was never what
made me broken
or small
even from this distance

what's it to you?
