Restless Leg Syndrome

Running free but out of steam,

this leg pumps bubbled blood.

Seen tripping over dreams

at the foot of the bed

, twitching under seams

onto another troubled sole,

it beats.

Give it one more double roll;

kick away the angry weight

, beneath twisted, twirling sheets,

into a sore and surly fate

of surely getting

beat.

… Restless, I’ll toss another tussle

with a writhing, wrestling muscle

, because it leaves me feeling

nothing less than beat.
