How Much Do Tired Eyes Really See?

Should I press flat into the floor?

Should the weight of my head be so much? 

Too much for neck? Too much for shoulders? 


Dry earth cracks and crumbles 

so does dry skin. 


Black claws on edge of vision 

no shape of monster 

tailbone crack pop shift 


Growing out of the cage, 

through the gaps and holes, 

but the center stays inside
