the sweat drips from my brow
my hand reaching up to catch
that drop
too slow
(plop)
as it hits the mat
soon i follow
on my back
a sprawl too late
eyes closed
feeling, what comes next
is that right
i don’t know
but i remember this is a bad place
shrimp to my side
get away from being flattened out.
breathe in
breath out
slowly rolling
rolling slow
slow my roll
