Ode to the Body
there is knowing in herecan’t be boughtnor sold, neither
the choreography of a liferesides in musclehand curve on worn-smooth barrethumb on top gently is the waytoes lead through rosin resistanceto pointe chin up shoulders downcollar boneshe still knows
the body is a ribbon of time
some visitors become partof your architecturesculpting pleasureinside the permanent recordof DNAthey stay
some daysyou call their namejust to knowthat they are there
some daysthe sun is the only oneto kiss this skin
lucky sun
some daysthe skin will not containwhat is within
the body is a ribbon of time
our most reliable fallibletime-travel device
but what can hold all that livingwithout overflowingevery once in a while
