Weary vertebrae

Posted on August 17, 2014 by tyler4turtles

My body
sinks into
bed like
a giraffe
in quicksand —
a long
cascade of
weary
vertebrae &
bones —
descending
towards
sleep.

    Oh, this is so good. And the design of your words make it even more graphic. Love it.

    So original: giraffes and sleep-not a sheep to be seen for miles. The effect of the poem is a wonderful long slide into sleep.
    Cheers
