a meditation

a meditation
on chicken skewers – select
your entry point, pierce

through so gently there is time
to adjust your fingers, repeat

a meditation

a meditation
on the threads that carry our
stories – the shapes that

lie beneath, the shapes to come,
not without some finger pricks

in the art that is

in the art that is
kneading, there are mantras and
meditations that

take us deeper and sweeter

you are meditating

you are meditating
while i peel into fifteen
pomegranates, looking
for a pattern, a rhythm,
a mantra to latch
onto that could
somehow make the
detachment effortless

centering mondays, drawing
attention to our

breath, body, and posture, along
with any rising sensations

some histories

some histories
are just inked
stronger, the
way traces of
an old romance
can remain
visible beneath
St. Augustine’s
meditation on the
psalms. define
renunciation
when your lips
are this close,
deciphering
a way back

the moment you have

the moment you have
given too much away comes
at you like a curve
ball, with considerably less
velocity in favor of
breaking. between 65
and 80 miles per hour,
there is just enough time
to take in frustration,
not enough to conduct
a mental body scan,
sidestep the ache

if retreating from
the world is finding a way
in
, and staying still –
that will be my specialty
a slow sun-dried nom de plume
