Start To Finish
Start
At the toes of bright
Colored socks. Up the legs
Of inky blackness on up to the
Stomach a sea inside.
Out to the arm delicately scarred.
Up to the chest now
Stop.
Breathe, feel.
That evergoing thump.
Pressing on.
A heart. Go on feel,
Look you've got one too.
Gentle now, don't break it.
Stop.
Breathe, feel.
Up we go, up past the
Neck, the lips, nose, the eyes.
Now up to the head.
Stop.
Breathe, listen.
The roaring chatter of a single
Brain. Hopes, dreams, wishes.
Thoughts, ideas, feelings.
Yet none of it means,
Anything.
Not yet anyways.
Stop.
Breathe, feel, listen.
Finish.
