Poem: Insides

Into the fold
of the belly of the Beast,

In sleeping wake,

a pulse wave flows

to the tips of my fingers,

down to my toes.


A storm brews

from deep inside


I swim through acid rivers

and

find calm in the corners

of my stomach - my intestines rising

When we are of our own abatement

My planted heels my Achilles heel

When familiar is no longer
a gift

Where else can one go

but deep, deep inside?

In search of solace
in the dark...
