Resting Pose



Resting Pose

In yoga, we rest on our right side
to honor and protect our hearts.
At your place, we sleep on our right sides,
me the little spoon, you the big.
To be this close, breathing together, tangled up
Holding each other, arms and legs …
I keep telling myself we sleep this way
so we can silently drift off
to late night tv…
But really, I’d like to think
we sleep this way,
you and me,
to honor and protect our hearts,
and maybe we partially do… or maybe we partially did.
