Flat on My Back

This body is a house of loss.

A house on its back.

Sleeping. Or losing sleep.

Experts say 33 years

of lost consciousness.

Or trying to lose it.

Easier to lose

the keys to this house

which I can’t find

because I lost 

my glasses first.

If I can’t see what I lost,

did I lose it?
