Deep down in the bones,
below stretched muscle
and mind that can’t contain
another ounce of the world’s
work or worry, the body gives up
its sense of sinews and soul,
gives in to last-ditch denial
of sleep where something beyond
waking boundaries of burn-out
and the broken and weary-worn evaporates
into almost-forgotten levitation: you hovering
in another realm not here: depleted, restored.
