use my body
its purpose to serve, obsolescence, planned.
i am a woman that was once a field, abundantly productive,
hollowed out to hold my grandchildren
and megapacks of paper towels.
this is not a complaint, but an invitation:
use my body
as i have done and still do:
generously, gratefully; a durable commodity
that was only only mine
for a flicker,
but i remember it fondly
as a goddamn miracle.
