Yoga in Edinburgh


You hold your arms out to
feed your body.
I hold my arms out to feed
my soul.

I, within my safe warm blanket.
Shiny wood floor.
Lovely lycra.
The rain on the window,
we chant inside.

You, in your cold mould filled
rags.
The rain inside.

I reach out for my fix
in my warm yoga nest.
beautiful girls.
beautiful bodies.
seeking beauty for our minds.

After class.
I walk through the wet streets
filled with peace and warmth and love.

You shiver, in the wet.
filled with emptiness.

You huddled, reach out to me,
I ignore you,
wrapping my pink coat around.

The rain falls.
you reach out for your next fix.

I close my eyes and shiver.
