“Camel Pose”
Bleating
afraid
of the sternum
breaking.
On knees
neck bent
kneeling to no one
eyes
hold the ceiling:
god fearing
a backwards fall
and blindness.
She
that cold vessel
does not beat aloud
she
is tucked
too far within
the ribcage
in the maroon dark.
Camel Pose: A pose in Bikram yoga during Vinyasa to renew your energy, to show your inner light:
“it reveals the heart, lets its beating be heard,”- the substitute yoga instructor at CorePower Yoga.
