arm falls asleep?
light sprinkle of rain
pecking softly on bare skin
tingling as if numb

summer snow
cottonwood trees shed
a blizzard of puffy fluff,
tickling the nose

kari strains her back
turning while lifting
back muscles protest, then snap,
she drops the briefcase

takeoff
pressed into the seat,
ears popping, turbines roaring,
the airplane lifts off.

improper footwear
a sneaker-shod foot.
fingertips gripping stone slip
--big toe turns purple.

leg cramp
lactic acid builds,
knee to hip, a rope pulled taught
in a line of pain.
