                                   Yoga At Pura Vida: Costa Rica

                                            by
                                            Margaret Chula, Oregon

                                            morning breeze
                                            pulse of water
                                            smell of cow manure

                                            holding the pose longer
                                            hummingbird
                                            at the hybiscus

                                            how flexible
                                            the Brahmin bulls
                                            nuzzling their own backs

                                            the different colors
                                            of water over rocks
                                            russet-backed squirrel

                                            solo yoga
                                            giving myself permission
                                            to bend my knees

                                            after the poses
                                            and the AUMs savasana
                                            in the hammock
