i sit down three times
every day closing my eyes
to let everything go
feeling my head float
on today's angle atop
the neck connecting
shoulders to chest
   and the heart
suspended higher than
the abdomen and hips
butt firmly anchoring
the balance of all above
sex and thighs ready
further down knees
loosening the calves
on ankles and feet
resting gently on earth
   with perhaps
transiently an afterthought
hands heavy with nothing
pressing left to grasp
