Angles

The time and place are different.

Everything shifts, adjusts
but her body does not,
cannot conform
to the bends and angles of the sofa,
the recliner,
the floor.

Everything is knots and tangles.
Hair, clothes, blankets
muscle and sinew
bunching together
and pulling apart
exactly how they shouldn't.

She had not considered
that rolling stones
might only keep moving
because they cannot sleep.
