We twist.

Bones crunch, skin stretches.

I step and you restrain,

Our toe cramps.

Our head is heavy,

Body no longer defined.

You rest inside me,

And you never rest easy.

I tell them time and again:

This is the body I occupy here.

But you are more weight than a body.

This joke has become a mystery.

Misery, missed lead, misled.

For a body can’t climb into a head.
