When Tara asked us -
with her eyes closed -
our eyes to close;
to put one hand on our belly and the other on our heart,
I wondered why the left hand went down
and the right one arose
until after a few minutes,
when it felt kind of like an embrace.
That’s what it was about, I suppose.
At least that's what the arms chose.
