WHERE TENDON MEETS BONE

I am forever looking

for just the right

insertion point—

the enthesis—where

tendon meets bone.

The physiologist in me

wants to bring us here,

to this place

of emotion without

motion

attachment without

attachment.

I want us to root ourselves

to this ground,

to the fiber and tissue of

this moment

and stay here

without having

to muscle our way

into anything

but the texture

of Now.
