Future Body

Watching the movements rehearsed
In an image left over from birth
It’s palm providing a pearl
It’s hand holding a whole word

Feeling like time come apart
Broken in two, no longer an arc
It’s a circle without a start
It’s a choice made on your behalf

Falling in place so intimately
Living inside my future body

Give me a place to start, leave me nothing less
Don’t understand what love demands but you know what’s best

If the corner was born from a shape
How can the corner and form separate?
Are you still listening?
Were you just visiting?
The line is a cloud, the spaces are liminal
Not here
Somewhere I’ve seen an image of me
Falling in place so intimately
Living inside my future body

Give me a place to start, leave me nothing less
Don’t understand what love demands but you know what’s best

Give me a place to start, leave me nothing
Don’t understand what love demands but you know what’s best
