Bodypsalm for Listening

There are habitats beyond
the one you live in
beneath you in the magma
beside you in the wind
with you in the water
inside you in dreams

layers exist within the archaeology
of your body’s knowing
it only takes a drop
of insight to remember
there is another way

where the answer to issues
is not another meeting
change of direction, drive or data
but a realignment to the inward pool
listening through the body
an intuitive’s call

the researcher may look for data
but there is a data of the body
spiritsongs of the cells
beckoning you to come alive

turn towards the threshold
of muscles and tissues
let light in the shadows
break into humility
and embrace beyond
what is known.

Bodypsalm for Winter Solstice

   “The queen’s chair” by Dobee Snowber

 

Sit on the mat
of your own imperfections
constellations of longing
brew beneath winter
the ripe darkness

 

You are not separate
from the earth’s spinning
she is within your cells
calling forth tenderness
from tissues of vulnerability

 

Listen in the shadow
embrace the disruptions
attend in the unknown
here is a companion

The stars of your own turning.
