Day 11 - 4/11/2023
The things I do to try and get to sleep:
1- Lie on my right side
Right arm up under the pillow
Left arm in some
godforsaken limbo
Where it is transformed
Into an awkward hummingbird
Never able to settle
Always moving
...Nope
2- Lie on my left side
Recreating, with near perfect symmetry
The pose from moments before
Left arm, comfortable
Right arm
Like a mackerel
On the deck
...Nope
*Bathroom Break*
3- Lie on my back
See, that is just
not happening
My lungs forget to expand
And contract
When I lie on my back
...Nope
*Bathroom Break...again*
4- Lie on my right side...again
Now it's my knees that can't
Seem to find a way to get along
Bone on Bone
Cap on cap
Or one leg in front
Of the other
In an askew
Runner's stance
...Nope
*Bathroom Break 3*
5- Back to my left side
The side with the edge
And now my foot
Decides it wants to try
Dangling
Or, maybe my leg
Made that call
I just know I didn't
...Nope
6_ Wake up
No clue what position it was
In which I finally
Found ease enough to
Sleep
