 Dissatisfied


Dissatisfaction pounds a tattoo against my bones

restless, my skin jumps away from touch

as though it might fly away

straining to be free of me

of what it holds

don't know quite what I want

or how possibly to please myself again

nothing cheers

nothing lifts

nothing penetrates through this fog of irrational malcontent

so my skin keeps buzzing

nerves jangled

unable to relax

or settle myself at all
