centering mondays, drawing
attention to our

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

there are moments when
i forget – dicing onions,
eagle pose. there are

moments when i remember –
tadasana, making tea

in both hands, my

in both hands, my
fingertips are still
tingling from cutting
into last night’s
cherry bomb
peppers, so sweet
and delicious a
memory
to meditate on
in child’s pose

after awhile, the
magic is bound to expire –
perhaps a prolonged

sigh or a forced exhalation,
nothing too embarrassing

in adho mukha

while hanging
mid-air, dhanurasana,
inverted –

and two
bunches of perfect
and fat scallions
wrapped in the
corner of yoga
practice, hold,
no one knows,
exhale, om

in child’s pose, you can
meditate on
many things –
like the grocery
list, where to meet
for lunch at one-
thirty, designing
those business
cards, if he has
responded to the
email, even the
state of the
economy –
when all the
world’s a stage
,
it takes some effort
to bring it in
