damages with missing teeth
i tasted sweetest fruit. with broken limbs
i climbed the trees and walls. with punctured flesh
i rushed and won. with broken-mended heart i loved again. with weary blinded eyes
i saw the rising sun. with every bruise,
with every blemish, with every scar i lived, i knew, i was. pristine is only start and end of body's path. illuminated by the imperfection is the journey. . . . #dearestvoid #poetry #buybooks #author #authorsoninstagram #damages #instagood #book #published #read #perfectlyimperfect #portland #2013 #oregon #liquidgravitypublishing (at Portland, Oregon)
