Psychosomatic
by allisonkujiraoka
The mind, the body
ethereal matter
a soul’s tsunami or
the heart’s steady patter.
Concentric circles and
overlappings:
The willingness to heal;
the fear that you can’t.
Thoughts colonize the flesh, and
symptoms pitch a tent.
The rise and fall of empires
within these corporal borders–
rack the brain for a panacea
or follow doctor’s orders.
