I am tired

Stretched like a rubber band,
Thin like wire,
Hot muscles on heavy bones.
Spinning head,
Clumsey fingers,
Growl and stalk the house around.

I am tired.
I am shattered.
I need to be held, massaged, put to bed.

I need to hear a silky song,
Feel warm bedclothes
Against my skin.
A soft cat's fur,
Or just a cuddle.
Anything that doesn't demand of me.

Anything soft, anything silky.
I am tired.
