Exploring the Body

When I reach
inside myself
I never know
what to grasp
for—what I
will find. A buried
memory of
discovering death?

Boney fragments
of limitations

Tenuous sinews
of failed potential

Bulbous cancers
that I can never shake

Convulsive passions
occasionally embraced

The muscles are tight

a snug fit inside this place

not much room to breathe

anymore, suffocating
from inside out.
