as in the yoga class
feeling hands
shift my outstretched arm
to re-align with my hips
and when I opened my eyes to
acknowledge the help
there was no one there,
how sometimes
the adjustments
are subtle, a shift
of weight, of word,
a sigh, a release
of thought, feeling,
anger, hurt
and sometimes
it is more positional,
a postural habit,
bones and muscles
making do
constricting form
over 36 years
of bending forward,
listening, attending
as if in prayer
