The Wanderer

Her constitution tighten with nerves
tensioning antennas
an alien to this locus
a churned stomach twitching in the depths of irritated sleep
fragmented dreams, a stiffening neck and charley horse gripping the left calf of her leg
open silence to struggle gasping a painful grunt
impaled labyrinthine thoughts
cross future possibilities
sentence her to a bag lady
beat for a space to holler home . . .
