Night Body

Slip into her darkness

let her wrap her arms around you,

fully, deeply, quietly-

the breath and the acceptance

All this time,

your darkness was a light.

a place to be most tender

in the body, in the pain

Think of darkness

under skin and bone.

how all is sacred,

cellular, intact.

healing way–

the dark and light.

Here, we know our wholeness
