Does That Ring a Bell
by Emma Freeman
There is a bell somewhere
deep inside of my body
sitting in a dark, warm cave
patiently waiting in charged stillness
ready to respond when the time comes
It listens
attuning itself to the expansive, spacious silence
ready to ring out
to reverberate into the waves of the air
flowing through me
bouncing off of my curved walls
traveling through layers of soft tissues
winding through villages of bones
dancing across fluid oceans and rivers
sending vibrations of resonance
out
out
out
acting as a beacon
a siren call
to listen and to feel
for what just rang that bell…
