Stretch

I'm learning

To take

Up space

In my bed.

Where I curl

Myself

Into a ball

In the very

Middle

Making myself

As small

As I possibly can...

I

Feel into this

Tension

Within my body

I

Feel the energy it takes

To stay

Small...

Wound up

In

And around

Myself.

I

Feel into the

Resistance

Of Holding that

Place

And

I

Breathe

Into the Fire

That sings through my form.

Softly,

Slowly,

I

Stretch out my legs

I

Unwind my back

I

Arch my being

Into a question mark

Against the blank page of my sheets

I

Focus on the tingling ache

That comes with

...Release

I

Allow myself

To stretch

Expand

And take up

As much space

As I possibly can...

I

Allow my body

to fall back in

To a more natural state of rest

Back

To the middle

Of my bed.

Learning to take up Space

to Empty my head.
