Poem Artwork

My hands fragrant with tiger balm

Soothe your feverish brow to indigo

The coal inside burns to white ash

My fingers absorb templed pain

The burden flys out of your head

I press my heart to your chest

The grief flows out green into me

Tears release guilt and shame

Harbored in the lee of your mind

My arms embrace knotted shoulders

The load falls behind your shadow

My hands massage the base of your spine

Body floats weightless in orange-red sea

The fear dissolves into trust

Your fists two open palms on water

You speak truth to a turquoise sky
