Who is here

Restless nights
Pictures, thoughts and things undefinable
The body a heavy log
A call of despair: ‘show up please’
Like the homing instinct of pigeons
Like the formation of the fetus in the womb
Hands touch the body,
the body drops into stillness.
Oh hands, I know who is moving you.
Where are you
Who is here?”
