sometimes, my dear body,
you’re stiff.
sometimes you hurt so
much
i think i’m hallucinating
sometimes, I cause an
accident & you’re
involved––
you bruise. you bleed.
i’m very sorry.
sometimes, i’m afraid
& think you’re weighing me
down
sometimes we fly
across a meadow
together like an
angel
& you, my dear
flesh of my flesh––
sometimes we have
a misunderstanding
we want to run
away
but we cannot run
from each other
you are me &
i am you
in this very big
now
i wouldn’t, couldn’t––
can never, would never
do without you
because i love you
