Jerk


Flat-footed, I find no relief –

How far must I walk to find room to breathe?

But here are no answers, no numbing reprieve,

So I'll lie on the moss with a blanket of leaves

And hope to high-heaven that I'll cease to be

A snivelling child whose jerk of knee

Too often finds the jerk in me.
