Skin
Funny thing, skin
how it can make you feel
like you belong
to another or the world.
With its distinct instincts
memory and desire,
almost makes you wonder
who’s wearing who?
Bodies
Bodies are like poems.
A fraction of their power
resides in their skin.
The rest belongs
to the spirit
that swims through them.
That's a heck of a picture you found.
Both of these are excellent. Well done. You captured a lot of meaning in just a few lines. I especially like the second. It makes me think of the old saying "We are not bodies with a spirit, we are spirits that temporarily have a body".
Thank you, for your warm appreciation, friend. As a lover of Haiku, @dbooster, I can see how you'd appreciate concise, evocative phrasing. Yes, I fully agree about how we are spiritual beings having a human experience... As Leonard Cohen puts it: We are so lightly here...
Such a great song! (well, anything Leonard Cohen wrote was good).
Nft
What do you mean by that?
