Not This Body
*
We live together
In this space,
In this blood,
In this marrow.
I am in here, everywhere
Yet nowhere to be found


You help me say; I am,
I am thankful,
I feed you, I bathe you,
We are not the same,
You are form, and I am not
You are bound, and I am not


I leave you lying there at night, 
I hover,
I fly,
Yet I return 
To the shelter of your flesh,
I cherish our friendship,
And you are free
And I am free,
Because we both know,
You are not me,
And I am not this body.
