feeling

my left pinky toe

scratching behind my right heel

my right instep

flat against the fitted sheet

covering the mattress

my left ribs and shoulder and tricep flat too

lying on my side

my ear and jaw and part of my cheek

against the pillow

a slight strain in my neck

inclining to reach the pillow

baby’s forearms

pressed into my back

the second sheet against my right knee like a teepee

and against my right pinky toe too

like a second post

the back of my left hand outside and on top of the covers

folded with my other hand like prayer

holding my phone

typing this

my right index finger on the power button

on the right side of the phone

and my left index finger

on the volume buttons

and my two thumbs on the lighted keys

that i see with only my right eye open

and my left closed

submerged in pillow case

and the inside of my right bicep

slightly sticky against

my right pectoral

and thighs laid flat

like books stacked

not top of one another

dry tongue in mouth

feeling breath roll over

like ocean breeze over

a sandy beach

and slightly chapped lips

a half inch apart

eyeballs behind eyelids

closed while i think

and nose just being there

not particularly felt

other than a slight blockage

in the right nostril

and other parts felt

just being there

like eyebrows and forehead

center of my chest

and insides

and second and third layers of skin and muscles and bones

all being there

mostly unnoticed

expect for the occasional practice

of laying physical attention
