Oh 2 Dream
Of The Arms Of God
Chair, Waiting For Me
Down In The Utility Room —
Waiting For M(eye) Pot Of Tea
Red Rose, Steeping
As Eye Try 2 Sleep
w/ Crumpled Back
& The Prickly Hands
Of Improper Positioning

By any chance, are you referring to not finding a comfortable spot for your arms and hands while sleeping? If so, then you are not alone. And by prickly, I am guessing those are dry and cracking from water and weather? Certain fingertips and shoulders are killing me as a result. So too with you?
