Breathe


When it hurts, crawl like the sea
turtle to where you began.

Feel the tide turn back to shore.
Ride it in. Let the moon

Pull through you. Now it's time
for stillness, pillows and ice.

Breathe through the lace
curtains of your back.

Fall into place. And falling, rise.

Poem by Wyatt Townley from "The Breathing Field"
