Stretching

Muscle fibers
Sinews and nerves
Twitching and twisting
Under never tearing skin

Of my hand

Under tissues and veins
Of my arm

Under bones and plates
Of my back

Behind long bones
Of my leg

Crawling across
My eyes

Muscles
Twisting
Twitching
Releasing

Under bones
And nerves
And tissues
And veins

Stretching
Breathing in energy
Flowing through
Those very muscles
