what the body knows

when your leg
cramps
in the middle of the night,
the muscle
stiffens
with pain, you yell out.
you curse,
you rise
to go use your hand
to gather water
into your mouth.
was it the dream,
the day,
something
that caused this leg
to go  tight.
your body
keeps score.
it knows what's wrong,
what's right.
