I touch sand origins
wave crash
grit laced between my toes
fossils broken
quartz feldspar mica
beach sparkle!
harvested glass poured
squares
rectangles
hybrid transparency
solid crystalline order
liquid molecular randomness
no divide out to in skin
membrane
of
the
house
sun dashes through
voices travel past
cool spot to rest
forehead
palm
take the
outdoor pulse
protected
window snot guard to the world
amorphous solid face mask
eyes of every shade age species
watch spring arrive
frozen we’ve taken the prey stance
coronavirus predator molecules luminous lasso
replicators spike proteins hijack cells
ordered bodies shelter
we hold
our breaths
close in our soft sad lungs
pleural sac hope
we shut mouth nose
eyeball shifts viscous fluid observation game
click gallery view to see the participants in a zoom somatics class
screen liquid crystals light emit diodes pixels
red blue green
lysol wipes decontaminate images
from touch
sense vibrations
all those molecules buzz configure alternatives
virtually we lick the grass
virally we smell hyacinth pinks purples
hear the grasp of hands
lean of chests
I smash my body against the window
