I feel like I have been
crying for ten days
yet I haven't shed a tear
*
That whole body relief
from shedding something
that I held onto
for too long
as months turned to years
*
Nasal passages open
Breathing deeply
like it is the first breath
I've ever taken
after blowing
my brains into
a thousand tissues
*
Body bone dry
from any stagnant emotion
plugging up my eyes
living in my skin
*
An empty space
within my chest
Soft unmarked peace
*
Space clear
to sew stars
within my skies
*
Mind clear
Muscles soft
Skin still
*
Throat fully open
allowing my tongue
to dance freely
in the ballroom
between my lips
*
Serenading the day
with feeling
My words morph
into songs
*
Gazing into the world
with love
My eyes capture
this moment
