Selflessnesses
Do not be sofa bound
by reelings –
by spasms
off muscle contractions
under that uncommon label
of dystonia –
a low waiting room
for our stiff unknownings
Lift a half glass fully
to your lips
without occasional
spillings
Try to sleep for eight hours
without rum disturbances
and rise to daylight with ease
without drugs – without slowed fears
of standing upright and all
alone
again
each morning
Do not be afraid of night
or day
as your unseen naked pain
rides tight on your skin
