The Box

Step out
Look around
Breathe in
Or blow out.

Stretch back
Relax
Eyes shut
Ears open.

Feet spinning
Lights dimming
Warmth fading
The chill overtaking.

Earth giving way
To a gentle sway
Knees crumble and shatter
As a moment matters.

An abyss below
The heavens above
Sides no more
The top and the bottom
Close in.

The breath and the arch
The spirit and the match
Decide for each one
The shape of their Box.
