body language

your body speaks
to you.
it has it's own way
of talking.
a language
all it's own.
it tells you in
small
whispers
what's wrong
with you, which
muscle, which
limb,
which bone
needs
caring for.
it tells you to
take a day
off. to rest.
to go away and sink
your feet
into sand,
drop your self
into a warm ocean.
take your
hand off the wheel.
how long you have
ignored
the whispers in
your fading ears,
but now, you're
ready for that talk.
