8th Day

As if the sabbath happened one day late,
last Tuesday was the yoga day of rest.
We breathed and stretched so slowly on Day 8,
twelve hundred seconds wasn’t any test
of stamina. But time to sense the state
of sinew, bone, and muscle was the best
expense of energy that morning hour.
I left home high on happiness and power.
