The Anchor Stone

WHEN you awaken
do you get up into
the sinking 
inside of you?

It's three feet below the bed
where you rest your head
at the foot of an Anchor-stone
I can only ask because i know
the weight of that stone
kept me three feet below
the resting bed
until one day i arose
up into the sun
when i awaken
that's where I'll go
