Going Up

Going Up?... Basement storage room Body parts hard plastic scarred spare pieces scattered tainted used dark places underground musty cold replaceable pieces aged storable undisposed Floor #1 Complete bodies fresh hard plastic Perfect image faceless smooth admired Absorbing life faceless content unscathed Desired bodies timeless sensual purposeful Scattered body parts an arm for jewelry perhaps the head displays a scarf a leg or two wearing pants or shoes Life... what part of me do you need today? a hand to reach out my legs running about my mind my heart what part? Come inside the dark space Take what you need store away what you don't Use what is left of me scattered yet still useful attainable & reserved contently invisible no longer beholding to beauty. Life... all of this is freely yours tattered..torn or new all I ask is don't touch my soul the one thing I can't give you for I'll being "going up" someday complete..unmarked..brand new My soul is what is left inside to this I have held on... For I am "going up" someday to.... Floor #1
