Sitting but my mind travels,
Breathing but my throat constricts,
Happy but missing something great,
Still but still deeply unsettled,
Rooted but tempted to uproot,
Content but wondering about greener grass,
Chilled but basking in a warm sunny memory,
Here but not.

Interrupted.
What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Why are you moving?
Will you never be still?
What is contentment?
What is satisfaction?
Are they worth stillness?
Does peace ever look the same?

A phone call.
We commiserate, each other’s doctors
What color is your pain?
A deep blue feeling,
Ocean waters crashing,
Pink flushed cheeks when the water rises.
Tell me where it lives in your body.
My chest, caught in my throat, pulsing at my fingertips.
I know that feeling.
I swim that abyss.
The remedy is this conversation.

Re-center. Re-root.
