Wind It Up

Head, shoulders, belly, and buttocks

There’s a bundle of knots all through me.

The day pours in and fills me up

Makes concrete out of my body.

Thrash, gasp, furrow, and sigh,

Don’t stop too long to think.

Rush in rush out with nothing between

And shuffle and fuss and check and fix

There’s something to do and lots to unpack

You can’t give up now, the energy’s growing

Don’t stop, go faster, what have you accomplished?

Keep going!

Wind it up tighter.
