Quick!
Come back to Body
sit right down
a perfectly good butt
waiting to take you back
Come on
kick off shoes
stay
slip right in
to left hand
that's it
then right
slide one hand from waist to knee
other side
on skin like putting on clothes
line your eyes up
with that far horizon
feel the roots of your hair
slow growth
rub finger thumb together
feel the grit of your own fingerprints
slickness of throat as you swallow yourself
back in
inhale yourself now
all the way down to your soles
you let that breath go
do not start to lose yourself again
because a yearning in your cells
muscles-tendons-ligaments-bones-tissue-flesh
for your taut aliveness and Be-ing
do not start to lose yourself again
or I will call you back
I will call you back.
