Sirsasana

Sirsasana (The Headstand)

Decapitaphobia: fear of snapping off
one’s head like the end of a stringbean.

Also bars the somersault,
even imagining the headstand.

Perhaps I can sneak up on it,
Walk in backwards,
Roll to my shoulders
And stay there, belly threatening
To engulf head. Nevertheless,

I am proud of this ungracious pose,
Even though not sirsasana.
I would go further and do the plow
But am hampered by tightly wound hamstrings.
In any case backwards is not forwards.

No longer a stringbean,
Must practice courage.
