Interior of My Body

I know I can silently
close the door,
and while the equipment works
I can be quickly enveloped
in the soft white noise
of pump and air flow.
It is the natural site of meditation,
on well-used furniture.

I always feel space inside,
confident of here and there,
knowing this much
is what animals in the world
have in common,
even as I stare in the dark,
find no lamp,
even as my eyes never quite
get used to the gloom.
