DEATH Poem: Sav asana (Corpse Pose), by Samantha Holland

Know myself

Grow myself
Grounded.

I’m fucking scared
Stay here for 8 to 10 breaths

Bring your hands to you heart
Now there’s nothing there

If it doesn’t get better here than we have to leave here
Settle into the pain

But I’m stuck in here

Round your spine, push the flow away from me.

But I can’t outrun some

Go back and change me.

Give yourself a bit more space

Close your eyes

16 to 20 breaths
over and over again it’s like nothing’s fair

There’s got to be something else here
Yeah there has to be
