Inside Your Body by Susan Isla Tepper

During a memory flash
of old fears
plus newer ones
flicking their cinders
faster than could be tamped down—
Built a heat in you.
Then unimaginable cold
you knew right away
led to the center.
Beginning to cry
you looked up
hands clasped finding a star;
the first of the night;
Alone.
Realizing it belongs
to you and you alone.
Making a nest to fit
inside your body.
