The days and nights of the Body

*

Body sits curled in her dogbed, waiting for help from someone. Body stands in his corral, hoping to be noticed and fed. Body lies sleepless in his swamp of a bed, trying to remember the words of a comforting Psalm. Body kneels composed at her master's feet, contemplating, listening, and taking "the better part".
