The Ceaseless Work of Noticing from the Neck Down
Eagle size butterfly wings fluttering mid gut
Cloudless space of sky
somersaulting from
belly to chest to throat.
Swoosh of a free fall
trapped in the back of a ribcage.
Finger tips pressed against finger tips, cold.
Half a swallow stuck
mid throat and chest.
Sun warmth
slipping
from abdomen to vagina to
toes curling
