Chin Up
postural effects upon thinking
"Chin up,"
She says
As though by some miracle
I will feel better.
Since when does physicality
infringe on my mentality?
By the rising of my chin
Do so my spirits
Do so my entire being, my structure.
My spine emanates with gratitude,
each vertebrae uncoiling
as did I from my self-doubt, just this morning
Spaces between each, widening
Skeletal self, - smile -, elongating
Spinal discs, as cushions re-plumped
Invigorating, softening
Me; in spine and in spirit
And,
With the rising of my chin
May things look up.
- Nicola
