The Body Bored of Sleep

there are only so many ways you can lay

positions to sprawl

places for legs to go

back, side

side, front 

the body knows them well

and it tires 

of the routine

turn and turn but there’s something more to need

something you will not find

before the exhaustion gives way

and succumbs for brisk moments

here and there
