Living in the body
chiseled
I have come to
cherish every pore
every muscle
everything held
so taut
that I have left
nothing for my head to do.
Thoughts disappear
as cells celebrate
the throbbing of life
every moment.

Their life's ambition -
to make a masterpiece.
They look for inspiration
for that perfect match
of things, place and time.
Here I am, slowly
getting ready to merge
from the rock into
the quiet flow
and only momentarily
revealing the master's
deft work, piece by piece,
on my flesh
and spirit.
All of me
now available
for me;
I love the world
of you and me
but you may
take
only
what I give of
me;
no longer
will I
be bound
to the world
outside of me.
