body, a garden of memories.

body, a garden of memories.
your eyes have seen things
tummy full of feelings
chest heaving.

 my ears have held secrets 
my mouth desires 
tongue thirsts 
lips languages.

 his feet have felt places 
toes touched  
nails left behind in half moons.  
her hands knew how to archive  
faces forgotten 
noses remembered 
throats that told their stories.
so similar, all these 
dark haired forests of memorabilia, 
 a landscape i once knew.
