The Body Opens A Window

The body opens a window;
it knows the way out before you do.
Stay close to the bone
cut away the urge to extrapolate.
There are 17 pitfalls ready to trip you up
if you make that mistake. And there are those
who do. Who fall into
every one of them.
You see that every day,
the ones who got so freaked out
looking over the edge and not knowing
that they jumped.
They didn't know the body opens a window.
We could drown in the tides of interpretation
or we could stay, sway, ride waves
right in the inbetween.
It's dis/orienting, that feeling, but it won't kill you.
And if you can wait, listen in,
the body will open a window.
