i)
downward-facing-dog:
when the sense of up and down
inverts, tailbone floats
ii)
sitting back to back,
i lean forward, you recline
as i support you
we breathe as one and your weight
feels solid: our love is this strong
iii)
upward-facing dog:
like when we were five and we
played at being seals
iv)
to make a tree with
my body and yours: hips touch,
arms spread as branches
v)
child's pose: as if you
were very small and thought that
hiding was easy
as this, as shutting your eyes
and curling up, fetus-like
vi)
shivasana: the
moment when breath comes from belly
and the floor dissolves
