Idleness
trapped under my own weight
like a horseshoe crab with a broken tail
that’s been flipped upside down;
clenching helplessly,
unable to right itself.
i’m nailed to the ground,
paining and burning
under the very sun
that makes this world
a beautiful place.
waiting for the tide
to roll out and sweep me in
