Continuum

The knots in my muscles

Release themselves

Bit by bit

Like water falling over stones

Descending step by step

Loosening

Not holding me up

In awkward poses

Anymore

I think of where I’d like my bones to be

What seems most natural

Looking for balance

And uncovering

The logic of the body

Taking its position in space

Changing over time

Not imagining any purpose

Other than to be

My body

My awareness

My mind

Now I see it now I don’t

Now I control it now it controls me

Now I wonder

About the I

And the inseparability

Of all these things

Extending now my body my mind my awareness

I become the space around me

The strangers in the room

My mother sitting next to me

And I see the world

As the continuum

That I am
