The Body

My soul is in my face,

My ideas in my gut,

My impulse in my heart.

Its corrugated valleys,

And untamed wilds.

What drugged habits it hides.

I don’t wish for more,

As I mock imperfection,

As I self-exorcise.

Draped with expression,

And backward health.

This is my body.

Boiling inside,

Tinged by lust,

Incorruptible but aging,

Hurting but happy.
