A quote from the formidable Marianne Boruch. Celebrate Nat’l Poetry Month

[greenbic]

questo corpo che ho

lately i’ve had the inclination to stare at myself naked in the mirror

lumps and bumps and curves and lines (none of me is ramrod)

my body knows what it wants

i have to give my body what it wants

it wants cultivation (it’s fertile and bursting and ready to go)

but it needs a fucking challenge (begging)

sink hole mud pit quicksand death trap

sucking my legs, hips, torso out is euphoria

but i forget because sludge is warm and soft and easy

but god it feels better to feel alive

Try this at home.
