Where do you exist exactly Are you there in the head dangling from the cerebellum like a moth Are you there in the body that ancient temple sophisticated vine shining suspension bridge to the crude forms of fulfillment to the subtle heat the kindling chakra Is that where you resist the knowledge? How the blood floods the veins nourishes the heart how organs react to love and cold to the finch's distress in the manzanita tree How you experience art callousness ecstatic communion in the bones between your ribs sarcasm a tickle in the femur Do you know the joy of healing with the hands pliant wrists like roots dancing on a canvas over snow behind the eye a neverending parade inside your bicameral brain Muscles tools of the intellect not slaves but sieves a mind of their own a sense of humor a livelihood What do you hope for dream of retaining breathing in believing in If you do not inhale first with your heart that soup bowl of immortality
