Positioning Yoga

Yali Li


Bend the body down
Lower
Lower
Faces disappeared, sinister or mendacious
An ant is dragging a crumb of bread home

Bend the body down
Further
Further
Head pushes between legs
Noise vanished: Peace

Bend the body down
Lower
Lower
Hands hug ankles from the front
Muscle painfully hails for its potential

Bend the body down
Further
Further
Eyes open from up side down
A different world spreads out

To bend, not to bow
Let it go
Let it go
