airways

in with the good air
like
cartoon resuscitation

breathing is important
it also
signals contemplation
also
a necessity for yoga
instruction

but back to contemplation
as if to step outside
and on the porch
to inhale
nature
of the morning
or the sunset
in a good way doesn’t matter

life
in active participle state
(or
gerund as condition
with commitment)
reminding
teaching
remembering perhaps
though at best
through the filter of the moment
hearing
as if the sound might be
pouring through our cells
a gospel of
now

inhaling the moment
exhaling
what is dispelling helpful to release
into
the cycle of all atmospheres

but
you know
simply breathe
