Bodies

This body, this body

That wraps itself around.

A minefield, a shield

That separates you

And me.

I never would have taken

You for a shoulder, for a

Heart, for arms that close

And unclose and fold me

Like paper.

How do I show you this

Melting I feel, how do I

Peel myself off me and

Climb into you, into me

Without this body?
