Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Escaping My Body Every Night

I am not body lingering at night
My husband says "you are never there"
I agree, for I am gone. 
When I hit the body so hard that I wake up shuddering and shaking
Why I do not slow the soul down prior to reentry
I do not know
I suspect it has something to do with my lack of patience
And my child-like self
