Headstrong
Etch on my headstone
above what’s left-over,
a contrary Oscar, a yoga
stick-figure, torso
rising up to toes
head held below,
a woman balanced doing
all at once, nothing
and something–counter-posed,
reversing the flow
of her own gravity.

That’s an astounding image and feeling.
Love this!
Love the imagery and the complexity in such a small poem!
