Remedy: AcuDetox Meets “Self-Compassion” by James Crews
hands push hands, push
stuck energy out
clearing the system
the way dogs shake:
discharging arousal
preventing overwhelm
needles probe
meridians
curved cartilage may link
memory to muscle to panic
arranging the sharps just so
may too conduct chaos away
put your hand on your heart and say
oh honey
put your hand on another’s and
push for your lives
lay still
while some kind soul
sticks pins in your pinnae
to clear the memories –
we’ll try anything to move
our resting state to restful
