Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Repeat, until the pain goes
Away, they say.
Repeat, until the whirlwind
Stops blowing, and
The earth stops
Crumbling under
Your feet
And your heart stops
Throwing itself
Against the ground
With expectations you set
Beyond what your heart
Will endure.
Breathe in like
It is your only breath.
Breathe out like
You are already whole.
Repeat. Even as you
Feel nothing, yet
Feel everything
At the same time.
Feeling Nothing. Feeling Everything.
