Reality Check

How can a concept like money

or lack of it

make my body seethe and tighten with stress

Such that I have to focus on breathing

lest I forget how

 

it’s funny how the mind can convince the body of all the wrong things.

 

but there’s moments when I see that

Nothing could be as real as

 

the earth-spiced scent of this juniper branch

 

the richness of this steaming bowl of stew

 

the way we hold eachother so close our edges blur
