True Mind-Body Meditation

Each of my cells

buzzing

each one

a question

yet unanswered.

I notice their intensity

concentrated in my forearms

instead of my head

(the most likely place).

I think on this.

The time that has passed

since last I asked

“How are you, divine forearm?”

“Divine cracks between my knuckles?”

“Divine chipped toenails?”

“Divine chronic fracture?”

“Divine belly button?”

The answer is

Too long.

But I do the best I can,

Attending to each

part of the whole,

and also to each

crack that is

shining through the parts.
