This poem was written on a day when I was shocked with news I received. I wanted to run away, go somewhere else rather than be with the effect of it on my heart and soul . Eventually, I was reminded to come more consciously into my body and bones with down through body breaths.
This is what I then wrote. In the writing I found solid ground within again.
I send it out to remind you of your inner resilience when you need it.
It is called Bone Home
Bones
Drama
World news
Court hearings
Shattered relationships
Not rattling them
Iliac Crest
Shaft of Femur
Great Trochanter
Thoracic Cave
Zygomatic Arches
Ramus of Mandible
Manumbrium of Sternum
Sacral Sacred Groove
Glistening white
Rocks
Caverns
Bedrocks
Shields
Pillars
Do they light
My dark body ?
Their gravity
Holds me
When
I want to fly away
Leave
Go somewhere else
What do they say
On this day
Of broken promises?
They say
Your own
Vast inner landscape
Yet undiscovered by you
Is where to be
They ask today
For your conscious breath
Acknowledgement
Of what they all do
Keeping bodies upright
In a fallen world
