When do I feel most myself?
It is when
I touch my soft belly,
Feel my smooth skin,
Sing on a stage
When I look
In the mirror and am tingling
At the sight of me
When I can articulate the
Most complex web of who I am
To myself and to the ones I love
At the beach
Full stop
In between asleep and awake
On my bleach stained towel
When I look into my own eyes
At the ridges of my teeth
At the curve of my breast
When do I feel most myself?
Most me?
When my body matches
My mind
