I curl into myself
tucking my head between my legs
feeling the pulse of my heart,
the pumping of blood through my veins.
The muffled sounds of the outside world
filter through the fluid into my cocoon.
I go deeper and deeper inside.
I am sucking my thumb
and losing myself in the warmth of the womb
I don't want to come outside to play.
I need to stay here for a while.
I just need a bit of sleep and then
you can push me out between your thighs
and throw me, wet to the ground.
for now. I just need to sleep.
