For when you want to be soft!
Look around before you start.
Check the corners of your mind.
Hoist your heart up.
Open the windows.
Shove shoes off (you may have to be upside down to do it).
Shimmy the legs to remove the heavy you carry around the heave-ho part of you.
Clank the belly and breastplate cover down to the floor.
Remove the collar you wear around your neck (did you know?).
Peel away the underthings, hiding things.
Drop scales and shudder at the pale, blue cold.
Remember that you will not know
what the air feels like when you get here.
When the breeze blows under the hair you forgot you had and lifts a part of you up,
-you will remember you have always been light.
