“OK now, rock your hips, shift your heels,
unburden your belly, release your jaw.”
To what end? I want to ask her but it’s a video
so I can’t, even if I would. And just as she says,
“It’s okay if you yawn, or if you twitch, or if you start,”
she says, “to cry,” I release a waiting wail so deep 
I can only feel it, and so low I think only the dead
can hear, and I wonder if it reached my ancestors, 
and I wonder if they feel more free.
