Meditations on the Svadhisthana Chakra
Meditations on the Svadhisthana Chakra
Prologue
Who’s there?
I dream about my husband
this morning, sliding into
me like a god
disguised to look familiar.
That wakes me up.
And then there is the air,
newly humid, newly hot,
in the small bedroom
whose walls bend up
to the ceiling
like hands about to pray.
This day begins
with me in bed,
surprised, and summer
kneeling over me
with its thousand smells.
S. Robbins from Pilgrimage, Meditations on the Svadhisthana Chakra
