I Wonder, I Ponder

How do I condition my cells To take a form that might demand your interest, That might command your attention? I wonder. I ponder. How do I form my fiber To take the flight of air, The fluidity of water, To move beyond the limits of land and language? I wonder. I ponder. How do I manipulate my marrow To take the firmness of earth, The fierceness of fire, To move beyond the suppression of space and silence? I wonder. I ponder. How do I transform my tissue To make a form to dangle between dreams, To string together seams. To move continuously through continents and communication? I wonder. I ponder. *** How do I contain myself, When I’ve already dispersed it so freely? I am stretched thin, I lack the elasticity to return my former state. I am weightless, because I’ve placed myself in You
