KEVIN DURKIN
Meditation
Cross-legged, eyes closed.
Your thumbs and fingers touch.
Silent, one word repeats
in your mind’s clutch.
You note each heartbeat,
slow each breath you take,
as shoulders tingle and
your strained knees ache.
Your thoughts keep
swirling, water down a sink.
What do you think of when
you should not think?
