Where To Begin


I have to start with the skin I’m in.

It’s as close as I can get.

It changes.

Expands to fit me

as I grow.

It changes.

Responds to sun

or rain.

It changes

covered or not

by the clothes I wear,

the jewellery,

the mood I’m in.


It changes

By my hand

as I draw

on the important things

the listening,

the voices whispering,

the joining

together

in love.


It changes

to dreams 

in the end

and memories

when my number

is called.
