Making Love to the Body Electric
I speak my soul
Electrified
And from tops of mountains I cry
For in my heart, Angels and demons lie
And in the end, one must die.
I sing my soul
Personified
My lungs grow weary against the tide
I stop to absorb the salt as I lie
And wait for that day, for this life to die.
I scream my soul
Crucified
As my blood flows with pride
I hold my arms out, long and wide
For I am not afraid to die.
Inspired by "I Sing the Body Electric" by Walt Whitman, featured in *Leaves of Grass*
Thank you for teaching me how to sing myself.
