Indifferent muscle

Respiration

Like a mismapped something

or a piece of uncooked oatmeal not finding its way all the way down

This is how you pant

Finding the black hole of semi consciousness 

Watered by very distant tunes

playing right in your earbuds 

Balance

Marks the distance you cannot map

or a weighted ball that hovers

This is how you breathe

Wearing the sheath of indifferent muscle 

Creating worlds of breath

playing right in your throat

Potent

Plays a repeating tune

of jingling bells and quavering voices 

This is how you listen 

Crying your own thoughts in your own head

Finding pools of lotus 

hemmed by steps to the water
