corpoREAL

today was the day that my body stopped groaning
and asked, so gently,

move me. touch me. i am thirsty

and I moved and touched and drank

because for all I know, it knows better than me

every cell aches to be itself and everyone at once
who knew.

every drop of sweat, taste of blood, rush of pain
sends a new wisdom

embeds a new memory

it knows better than me
its sweetness and its power

its beauty and its pain

its love and its anger, both deep

and now it wants me to speak.
