Rules for a Body coming out of Water
I can feel myself emerging from this. For a moment I was stagnant, but I can feel myself moving through. Closing my eyes, I urge myself to remember — Anything. Something. Nothing. Beyond outside of me, I was here before. It is all contingent upon the myths we decide to believe. Repetitions move through the mind with ease — Is it cold when you’re dreaming? Is it cold when you’re under? How can you open, more? Open more. Unfold your arms and unclench your jaw. Feel your heart beat against your chest as it’s own living breathing being sitting inside of you. Watch where your heart goes when it’s submerged in water. Do not strip your skin from this depth. The inhale walks the exhale home. In the waves our bodies break so we can come up for air; come to the surface. Contract to expand. Dive deep deep deep down, to stay beneath. To lay down into the blue as a final embrace, seems like an awfully beautiful way to go.
