a small space
for storing
what i want
to be protected
from forces
making the colors
change outside

moving my body
my mind inside
feeling all
the places
where i am
  always
in motion
i surprise myself
  the memories
  i have kept
released, and re-minded
maybe from the lower back
as my hip gently turns
shoulders draw down
the neck feeling
how i felt before
and knotted away
  until today
i begin once again
to remember myself
in what we were

turned in
in twists
of what you think
is yourself
and that being
   all
that matters
while everything
   else
   just(ly)
reflects back
   You
   
how can we matter
even when you say it
unless it means more
   for you
