You worked so hard for this but He still struck you in the liver with an iron fist. Your body is a temple, your body is a blessing. Your suffering translates into some abstract message. A shiver of guilt to line the carcinoma while your brain snakes around what your pain is trying to show you. Tears from eyes that never questioned what they couldn’t see.
It’s all cogs and springs under your radiant skin, keeping time for that body you’re in. So when they start to grind and grate prematurely you’re desperate and you weep to the creator who surely won’t desert you.
I have more faith in our humble conception so I spin 180 to get a different perception of microcosmic explosions with atomic components cascading through our being with their epicentres as a moment. Like satellites with orbits overlapping in sections we weave in and out in a directional plexus. There’s life seeping through the cracks in our community.
Fragile vibrations, a gentle kickstart. Pathetically dependent but we didn’t fall apart. An invisible obstruction ends the cascade. Organically we pass, but we never fade away. We’re not invincible.
I’m waiting for the day when we’re not living in the wake of ancient empty promises made to fill the gaps in our knowledge. We’ll regain a realistic understanding of our bodies, not as temples, but as templates. We’ll become somebody.
