in the silent crowd
hands interlock and we all meet
in a circle where we quietly greet
each other's rhythms beating as one
6:05am. My alarm beeps 13 sharp, incessant shrills that shake me up and drag me out of bed, onto my yoga mat. The house is silent and there's just enough dark to see. I inhale deep…exhale deeper, letting my breath roll over my head.
