After yoga class
After breathing deeply
After pigeon, and warrior, and eagle, and mountain
After laying on the floor like a ragdoll, eyes closed
I imagine slipping out from under the sheets
     Naked
And padding to the bathroom
Where I ruffle my hair
And look glowing into the mirror
But instead I open my eyes
With eight other strangers
Who all roll up our mats
And pad to the front door
Put on our shoes
Smile shyly at each other
And go out into the snowy
    dusk night
