back open

Sunday morning I was able to open my back
it’d been fucked up since I left new york
something stuck

I did yoga every day

which, I’m sure is what spun him out of control

it’s rare to be able to delve into the dark and be able to rebalance
without any wounds

anyway
I’m better
I’m back in keel

thank you for all of your support
either through comments, emails, prayers or just witnessing
