The Gentle Buzz

by Mindie Kniss

by Kelsey Hannon

I am buoyed up with breath and held suspended with love
Connecting mind, body and spirit to a point of abrogation
More clarity than ten clear windows
A gentle buzz of energy in its purest form
Subtle surety softens the muscles in my face
And I am
Existing, unafraid of jarring impulses or cuts inside my stomach
And I am
Forgotten but more surely forgiven
what is outside this room
not numbing nor succumbing, this approach opens the veil
on the inside I wait for everyone to leave,
they have entered the half-an-hour-late crowd with salt rings on their shoes and jeans
