I woke up in the middle
of the night at two A.M.
disturbed that there was
something wrong,
I realized just then,
that both my arms
and legs were numb
and none of them would move,
they fell asleep,
and I was helplessly
trapped in my roo.
,
If there had been a fire
or a burgular downstairs,
I surely would have perished,
flames or crook
would find me there.
Then slowly blood
crept back into
the limbs that were deprived,
I lived to tell
this numbing tale,
when all my parts revived,
and in that moment clarity
came washing over me,
of all the people who can't move
about at all like me,
Those paralyzed or bedridden
who always live with fears,
and so for all their suffering,
last night I shed some tears.
