there's not much to heaven
a boy's head on
a girl's shoulder
is all it really takes
even the bus boy
smiles as he lifts the universe
is there a difference
btwn awake
and awareness - eleven minutes
a day i am
told
is all it takes: it
goes like this - pick a body part
and for eleven minutes focus
and do what is needed
but focus on it - three times a day
and soon not only awake
but aware - of the earth's pull
the rotation, the collapsing of our universe
and i respond - i feel it already
as i sleep and my hand is resting
in his
when i awake
