My Sacred Body

Horny for Life

My sacred body

is a living temple of life

She is hungry for love

and full fat cans of coconut milk

Horny for life,

turned on by the rom-com, drama

sometimes horror movie

that is being human.

She wants to dance barefoot

naked under falling leaves

and scream her orgasms into the river.

My sacred body is tired

exhausted from dragging the heavy boxes

of capitalism’s voice screaming

“You’re only worth as much as you produce”

up the staircase of society

to the non-existent top floor of perfection.

She wants to drop all the heaviest books

out of the heaviness box and cry

“Oops!”

lay flat on the ground

roll around giggling,

smell fresh roses

taste tangerines and

sip Madagascar hot chocolate.

My sacred body hurts

She wants the curve of her spine to unwind

like a slithering snake

shed the green shiny scales of smallness and

unwrap the four extra inches in her twisted spine.

She wants to stand naked in front of God and scream

“Take it all!”

I have nothing to hide

You can see everything already.

What did I ever think I could cover up?

These too broad shoulders people tell me are for swimming?

The cellulite that giggles on my thighs?

Or the way my back curves

like the asymmetrical tree leaning toward the sun?

You made me like this

Just like this

No mistakes

Your work of art.
