I'd like to map my body.
Have it scrawled with darksome ink.
Covered with touching tendrils of words and art and spirit.
To decorate and celebrate all that is within me.
My heart and soul to wear outside, exposed and seen and raw.
Delightful pain and scraping point.
Hands quick and soft and talented.
Beautiful, powerful and melancholy.
A reminder of who I am and what and where I need to go.
Magnetic forces draw me in. Coercing, whispering truths.
To decorate and celebrate and ink it all for nobody but me.
