truth about bodies

"we let ourselves know that our bodies are made up of water

but we cannot let ourselves let go of the body completely”--Goethe

body               not a capsule

bones mess of blood & meat are not strung         not weaved

     

we are

a river has no geography too thin too moveable for mapping

flip our minds into our knees into our wings

                                                     
                                                                            liquid     s p i n d l e s

we have grown gnarled feet from nightmares

have imagine      clay       rock       iron        skulls




                                                              what we have is a body of wet wind
