Akimbo.

What dreams cause me
To abandon my pillow each night?
Push away each of them, in fact
Since there always seem to be more than one Then wake to aching stiff neck twisted
Tits and face smashed against the mattress
Legs and arms akimbo
Like the high pitched body of a jumper
Waiting for her chalk outline
Finally at rest

sleepless, victim advocacy, job, women's crisis center of jacksonville, aching neck

Oh man, we are redoing mine and my brother's walls at the moment, so I am staying in my little sister's room on a crap foam mattress for two weeks. It is a bitch and a half. My back is killing me. So I know what you mean, it fricking sucks.

Good luck! You'll knock their socks off, I know you will :)

Yikes- hope you get your bed back soon and stop with the stiff-back business. And thank you :).
