Wiggle worm
I stepped into dead silence
And stepped in it again
and …
again
Wanted to wiggle out
Definitely squirmed a bit
Told myself
Stop squirming
Be still
Be silent
Be uncomfortable
This shoe might still fit
At the very least
we’ll have a bit of a sit

I may find myself remembering this one far into the future!
Cute image for a gravely wise practice. It makes me smile.
I think we start wiggling and squirming as newborns and continue until the journey ends, and a new one begins. Nice writing, Abelucia.
