Poetry of the body

Poetry of the body,

this tracing of currents

to see where thoughts travel,

glimmers of fish in streams,

where debris has diverted

fresh flow

and can be shifted.

 

And of course these thoughts

are rarely words,

moving as sensation and mood,

colours of some cousin to electricity.

 

Despite my blindness

and all the ways I am numb,

there is a kind of listening

that touches on knowing

and by these fragile threads

I lead myself home.
