With freckled arms
I search the floor for
affirmation, posing this way
and that.
In the quiet stillness of
Sunday morning yoga,
feelings pour from my
unquiet mind.
Your biggest fear
is you, it says.
A madness I’ve understood
for un-still-able moments,
there and gone.
That you won’t be
who you want you
to be, it says.
That acceptance will
flee or be forgotten,
realized as an
afterthought.

you are not
your thoughts
“your biggest fear
is you, it says.”
Yes, I love that.
