Counsel Of The Neck

listen to the counsel
of your neck

hairs at full salute
chill rolling up from the shoulders

how it twists
stiffens

it says
mortality is a sense

centered in the line
between head and body

which comes alive
at moments of great need (such as this one

when he speaks of love —
listen to the counsel of your neck)
