Alive

 Reverb10 -- December 12 -- Body Integration 

Prompt: This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body?

Did you have a moment where there wasn’t mind and body, 

but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present?

alone
on icy cold vinyl

sharp sheets slipping off
metal rails building a cage
the needle pushed into my arm
liquid and pain pouring in
a fire storm beginning
banshees screaming in my head

 playing role of a good patient
i lay silently pressing the call button
hot tears flowing down my cheeks
alone, terrified

and alive
