The mind precedes the body
defying and defeating inertia faster than the physical
Spirit, liquid, the mind defies and denies physics
The mind pulls away before the body
furling back, recoiling, curling back,
blocking and blanking out, disconnecting,
once it disconnects, unlocks and disengages
the body limps around empty,
trailing on tottering feet, wobbly on jelly limbs,
trapped by recall habit , afraid, uncertain,
stuttering, stammering, hollow, hesitant
speaking as Judas must have
clutching and trying to drag any sleepy residuals
and left over emotions of the mind along,
often like an unwilling accomplice
to feasts with now impossible satiation and reconnection points.
