The Body Knows
Apr 27 May 4, 2026The body has been the one in the room. This week we listen downward — to what it has been trying to say while we were busy with everything else.
Where in your body is tomorrow?

Tomorrow is in the back of my eye.
Alas, I am blind.
My tomorrow is unknown. Unseen.
There might be tomorrow.
But there might be no me.

Swinging high as high
Can be in a swing
Where the muscle
Right above your vagina
Jumps up into your stomach
Intoxicating senses of
Unbridled hope.

My body will be in the middle of the blur of everyday,
Going through the day with a burden inside just like every other day.
My body will just move on hoping for the day to end,
Waiting to escape into sleep,
Just like every other day.

Tomorrow lies in a place unknown,
the place where memories roam.
Tomorrow lies where the past brews,
tomorrow is something you cannot lose.

Tomorrow and more tomorrow after that
i reached the part where only old people have
my back hurts, so are my knees
my head is aching, my nerves are no longer serving me
it became a solitude
when could i bear it?
tomorrow is no more
an agony of yesterday.

With my head, I lie,
thinking,
planning what comes next.
If I cease to think,
I still lie the same,
while tomorrow
moves on without me.

I don't care about my Heart,
I overthink, stress my brain;
And runs it as a long journeyed Train,
I need to understand the more I put on ;
The more space is filled with stuff in my Cart.

What I saw is to be thankful for being alive and well whatever created the universe made you to be
Be lucky for you health
And for living in a decent country
Not many people have these things so just be thankful for tomorrow not very many people get to see it

a point where tomorrow starts

Tomorrow is heavy in my back
Weighing down my spine
So much worry my bones might crack
Anxiety of my own design

The deep pit in my gut,
asking for the pain to end
of another day
and another bland purpose.

My body isn't in tomorrow. It's days in advance, constantly trying to balance it all and breathe, fulfill my duties. I don't rest, I live in a constant state of what's next? The next bad news, hard conversation, next event, just everything that is next.

Tomorrow is a ball
bouncing inside my head.
What will I do?
Where will I go?
What will I do?

Behind my eyes, all the way behind the sockets. To-do lists and tiredness on repeat.

Tomorrow is better!
Today was not bad
Yesterday was not poor
This may be a fad
But every cell in my body is screaming
'Tomorrow is another day to be had!'

tomorrow is in my foot
stepping in time to the beat
of the drum of my heart.

In the pit of my stomach
The thump of my chest
It's in the fear
of taking another breath.

Tomorrow the sun will fall once more
The moon shall rise within my chest
Two stars they drown in deepest black
To lapse and sleep in endless rest

Tomorrow,
is in my mind.
it's in the way I wake up
and i feel like I'm running
out of
time.
Tomorrow,
is something important,
something to ponder.
So tomorrow is in my head.
the one I hit
when I'm upset
In words I wish I had said.
in things I wish I had done
right
and
wrong
wish I had been right
tomorrow
is in my mind
in the same dark room

Tomorrow hides behind my soul
where only that spark of life exists.

Where in my body is tomorrow?
It’s in my chest,
beating louder between classes.
In my hands,
shaking a little, still trying.
In my lungs,
breathing through crowded halls.
Tomorrow isn’t far—
it’s already here,
walking with me to class.

there is no space
within my body
that could cradle tomorrow.
it shelters only yesterday,
held too tightly,
wedged between
tooth and nail.
the present slips
through loosened fingers,
as i wait for something
real and undeniable
to remain.
