singing swings, feet sweeping sand, sweet kicks. melody moving from your mouth, I flow forward, to remember what it feels like again to be a kid kindly keeping secrets smiling I slash blood. the rattling of the shopping cart, reminds me to be present to your sensitive gentleness, I’ll hold myself. Caution beating a silent shout, knives, knives. out casting fears, bouncing heads and knees, I sat with a mask on wondering where I could stand in the white light waiting room. close your eyes, she said, imagine a rose in front of you and putting all your fears and worries in it. now put a firecracker it. feel your body being cleansed of the negative energy. now refill it with your energy, your desires. imagine a sun with magnet in the center of it on the top of your head, imagine the magnet attracting all of your positive wishes and power. Now crack the sun like the egg and fill the cells from your head to your toes with this energy, feel it grounding you.
