YOU ARE HERE
say maps in museums,
parks, and zoos. You
let your fretting mind
go too far out today.
It strode out on a road
to imagined disaster.
It shook its fist
at doom clouds
overhead. It didn't
let your lungs
take a single easy
breath. Bring it back.
Arm in arm, walk
your mind to a settled
space. A present place.
Make it rest. Let it
look at ground or
stones or grass
right in front of it.
In your body, mind.
In your mind, body.
Tell body, tell it:
YOU ARE HERE.
