truth
plain
simple
real
flesh, blood, and bone. this body of mine is stretching and unbending all of the knots and kinks collected from slouching lies. I've got this brain inside my head, but what more is all of these synapses. Pathways that enable connection on such a broader and bigger scale. To interact with other beings. I've got this cheeks to lift or lower according to my mood. Eyes to widen or narrow, adjusting to the realm of focus, adjusting to the level of light. Forehead is full of eyes. The third, yes. and then all the little pours filled with dirt and grime, waiting to be cleansed.
my heart beats but i can barely hear it or feel it, without cuddling with myself. My fingers here type, they touch, they feel and do. My hands have so many bones in them that cannot even fathom the connections, the joints, the dissection. Wrists rest as my hands work. arms with so much muscle and fat are hinged on my shoulders, my wings. My back is getting strong again. My hips remember how to swivel and support and bend. (You woke these up)
you who has stretch marks on your sides, from the growth beneath your skin.
my legs are folded in half lotus.
(you reminded me to bend)
my feet. so many nerve endings. so many toes. so much support.
this body. just seeing you walk by brought me back to it. and this is why I thank you. this is why I love you.
walking.

women.
men.
flowers.

pistols.

no sex.
wind.
