Pain

Today I'm practicing a new kind of yoga.
It's called pain.


om namah shivaya
om gam ganapataye namaha

sitting           waiting
for it to subside
                 the growing throbbing           throbs.               the plane does not move.
the plane does not work.

broken machine, broken               body.

I'm being asked to sit still.
                                                            break down so you can calm down

                                                                                                                         my ankle buzzing           light pain                    light particle                        release.
