Some Poems

my body, my body, my body

My body full of love to bottle up

my body, my limbs

that I’d like to remove

my chest that I would like to cut off

my silhouette I wish for it to disfigure

for my body is my cage and my cage is in a chrysalis state

I would like to be a morpho butterfly 

ever changing, I’d like to reflect the light 

that shines on me

I’d like to be a deep prism of blue

i’d like to be beautiful and cherished by you

I’d like to be considered a worldwide rarity

To be put in a little picture frame

 And hung against ivory walls

i’d like for my crisp green envy to shed

my body with all it’s bumps and bruises

my dear body
