Softly Pausing

A poem by some sure hand, by some
kind mind, verse by some generous
wielder of words, by some spacious

(and truly gracious!) heart, a poem
is my yoga mat. Reading the poem
aloud, softly pausing, to the 3 am

ceiling, walls, lightfixture: this, this
is how I "breathe my way back"
(as Julia might phrase it) "to myself."
