isn’t it a wonder that the body can know the spirit so well?
i had thought myself broken
wondered at the failure of my heart
and my mind
why the body remained unconvinced
rejecting invasion.
protecting what the heart & mind could not.
incredibly, she was doing the work of my soul
innately knowing that the protusion
was wrong,
violent,
an enemy.
