Dichotomy
An out of body experience, in body,
Moving out of an apartment, into a new place,
Going back to college and memorizing a eulogy,
Writing in my chair with crossed and dangling legs,
Drinking coffee and wine, black and red tastes clogging my throat,
Lacking movement in my sore wrists, a finger cut on the dog food can,
Numbing ointment as I tap my fingers, writing pain,
Sinking breath to the belly scorched and trapped,
Stiffening spine compressed in place,
Stretching both up to the sky and down to the grounding earth.
