Inside

Inside this sitting here: —
this mind pulling knees up
                    close to the chest
                    with tense hands.

Inside this
movement of anxiety for the body
and its worries of money
and its teeth grinning falsely
to the solution of all things surrounding

is the seed
and the hands pressing down into the soi…
