My body mine
My body mine
written August 13th, 2021
I stand in the shower feeling
my hands on my body
the water on my hands
me in my body mine
my mind flies away
as it is so practiced in doing
1 time, 2 times, 26 times
I gently return
my mind back to my body
my body back to my hands
my hands back to the water
my presence back into my body
27 times and 28 times
until one day
however many times it takes
124 times or 1,238 times
I can stay here
with this body
that is
my body mine.

Author's Note
Thank you TK for helping me to enjoy thinking about this, for making it not seem like such a horrible task.
Writing, never feels finished, like I said in another poem about writing these poems. Eventually I just hit post, and try to let it be enough. Maybe I'll revise some of these in the future? Or maybe not. Thank you for reading me.

I like how you establish a foundation, with transitory elements, from which to depart in flight and flights, in the most sacred search for the self.
... And how you have applied deeply focus intent to this flight and these flights.
This is wonderful Sen.

My spirit is always running away and playing while my back is turned. I'm surprised the neighbors don't complain. A wonderous poem.
