Alice


Ms. Walker reminds me in prose
to pause.
After a hard fought battle
Or desperate journey
Pause.

For in that unclaimed space
We can turn tides
Anxiety, depletion, exhilaration, desperation
All taxing, heavy batons-

The instant you feel you cannot,
Do. Pause. Hold. On.
To that space ill defined but present
That holds nothing, Everything.
Fill it with your breath another moment
And
Wait -
