The Unwanted

My feet take me across mountains and streets,

But what if there is nowhere I wish to go?

My hands obtain desire,

But what if I want nothing more?

 

My mouth declares and consumes,

But what if there is nothing left to say

and my thirst quenched?

My ears listen to what is said,

But what if I need not from those who speak?

 

My skin unifies my being,

But what if I wish to come undone?

Must I bear that which is not sought after,

Or will they detach themselves?
