Recovering Identity in 17 Syllable Verses
1. Approaching myself
Twists wring out your memories
Apana vayu
2. Silence is too loud
I’m unfolding as I fold
Wholeness is a tease
Exhale down the rabbit hole
Meet your new savior
4. Kali wears my head
her foot stands on my past’s heart
Prostrate the dark one
5. Don’t tell me to breathe
lungs carried sweet words I spoke
sour on my tongue
6. Okay, so I’ll breathe
the mother of the phoenix
won’t remain in ash
