Bodies, by Susie Orbach. Fantastic book on the modern tranformation of how we inhabit our bodies. I love the questions she raises about what it actually eans to have a body in this day and age.
LOOK
Fra Angelico
WRITE!
Today I went to the ocean.
I felt you along my spine,
At the back of my neck,
Like water receding.
I began to sway,
Which held you together
Until piece by piece
You broke apart lazily
and sunk in me.
I wish you could have
Been something bigger
than a boat.
I wish I could have
come up to you as myself,
And offered you
this salt bouquet.
Nothing is sacred though.
Everything is a crazy,
Damp dance of love.
