My Body

The fluctuations

The flickering between

What is flawed

And the places I shine

Do I dare show my friends

My fellow travelers

My current state of embodiment

Or am I fearful that the tenderness

Will be …..

What am I afraid will happen

Can who I am be disturbed, disappointed, sullied

Maybe I am still

A slight bit separate

And my concentration and example need to be

The pathway

More and more of the parts of myself

Coming back

Coming back

Joyous home

To my body
