The space in between my brows

The space in between my brows

Where my eyebrows furl 

And my nose scrunches 

My shoulders tighten 

And my glutes tense 

My kneecaps draw in

And my toes curl 

My teeth grit against one another 

Until I’m reminded 

Until I’m told

Until my toes fall outwards 

My glutes soften

My shoulders sink 

And the space in between my brows widens 

My breath deepens

And suddenly it’s all I hear

Until it’s a melody consuming me

And body sinks deeper and deeper

Softening further and further 

And yes it was my brows that held me tight but it was all of me as well

Every piece of me

Every part of me

Searching for a reason to let go

To release

To be freed 

To relinquish control

To be told I’m safe 

And there is nothing to fear

That I am to be held right here
