Creaky Creak


Awash with fatigue

Beached with exhaustion

Bodies bones creak and groan

 

Understanding how a rocking chair came to be

Movement

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth

 

Coming from nowhere

Going nowhere

Feeling aches

This is what it is and feels like in this world, where time holds age like a slave.
