Poetry Month #25: Meditation for Remembering–Michaela Kahn’s Monday Feature

Meditation for Remembering

 

Sit in the center:

Time on the tongue
tastes of air.
Back through the skin
to the missing girl
who remembers
nothing
except the lie.

Sit in the center:

Why fear death?
We have all died many times –
those lost days,
those children we were.
No self to carry into
the next moment.

The mind slips off …

only the body remembers.
