Enough with the Breathing II
I came back
With a broken summer and a broken spine
Grazed by the heat and stung by the night

Tried yoga, couldn't

Wasn't the stretches, nor the downward dog
Wasn't breathing thing

Upside down, I felt my organs falling out through my throat

One by one:
Liver, lungs, liver, lungs, lungs, liver
And then the vocal cords

Then the vocal cords flowed like seaweed out of my mouth
Out of my mouth

Enough with the breathing
Keep them in

They came fast like fingers
Inside-out in one snap
