My body is
Not exactly a temple
More like an artifact,
A map showing all
The paths I chose
The love I’ve given and gotten

My body is
A monument
To survival and resilience
To late nights and laughter
To excess and indulgence
To the love I’ve given and gotten

My body is
Holding yoga poses
Walking more slowly,
Stopping in wonder and awe
Celebrating life, and
The love I’ve given and gotten.
