Haragei

Haragei

When I take in your beautiful hips and

Smooth curve of your waist

I see stress accumulated

Around your shoulders & scapula,

But my warm hands gravitate to

Your koshi and oshiri

For the hara is the true source

Of relaxation and power.

Rapid side-to-side motion

Releases stored heat

And memories that only deep

Belly breaths can unblock.

We spoon in bed, and our

Bellies fill & empty in unison

Perpetuating that synchronous

Flow of uninterrupted energy.
