My body is slow My body is the soft breeze on a summers day My body is the sound of a fireplace cracking when the cold winter bites My hands are the roots of a tree The crack of lightening thunders through my bones My body is sick My body is the after *** cigarette, so bitter on your sweet lips My body is the smell of home after weeks without it My eyes are the stars reflecting stories of gods The tales resonate through me, I am Zeus My body is fat My body is the deep rumble of an old train engine My body is the shouts of a street market in the Middle East My voice is the crashing of waves over a forgotten ship The salt rots the wood within my core My body is ugly My body is the rush of warmth after a hot tea My body is the crunch of leaves under autumnal boots My skin is the scorching sand on a foreign beach The sun radiates on my pelt and burns into my flesh My body is mine You ruined it But my body is mine
