My body knows it’s coming I know because each vertebra Shouts: “Crack!” As I drop down Surrendering like a swan Into my rag-doll yoga pose I am like a rag-doll with nothing left in me but the shredded fabric of colors I brought to their table my back is exposed ready for whipping… Continue reading My Ordination Process

Te Soñe Por Ultima Vez
