Wild Woman
is so tired
she feels like
an inanimate
object.
She needs
to move,
but her body
won't go.
She needs to pack,
but her hands
are two clay bowls,
too heavy
for scooping.
She needs
inspiration,
but her brain
has
retired
for the evening.
What to do
with this
large
unwieldy
unwilling
and
cumbersome
Lump?
Stick her
in a corner
and pray
she comes to
by morning.
