Cautious: Pain Break

A wonderful sitting
Or so it began,
I centered in the body
I rested in my frame.

Boundaries dropped away
Between me and the room,
Everything was sensation
A tactile playground.

Then, pain in the upper back
Bit like a pit bull
That was looking for game
And finding it grabbed, OW!

But in spite of this predicament
I tried a new experiment:
I extended my sitting
To 45 minutes.

I waited and watched
As the pain grew,
But in minute 40
It seemed a fuse blew.

The pain diminished,
Very suddenly it eased,
And in such relief
I sat through without grief.

I know I can’t count on
A repeat of this feat,
But it was quite interesting
To see how quickly pain could flee,
Simply standing up to it
I can sometimes break free.
