If, I

A movement poem for March 29, 2020 by Jill Randall

 

If I send strength to my feet

I can move out of this situation

 

If I draw attention to my hands

I can gesture “stop”

 

If I bow my head

I can become humble

 

If I look around

I am an ounce less vain

 

If I place my left hand on the front of my heart

And my right hand to my tailbone

Gently press

Gently jiggle

 

I am here,

I am here
