bloom

I wish to tattoo every inch of my skin with
wildflowers and weeds — a smattering of meadows —
as a membrane of camouflage against mountain grass;
poppies on my eyelids and sage on my nose.

Collarbone-clutching nettle and hip-holding vines;
eating stems before pressing them to paper, to ink.
Shade them in blacks and greys, a monochrome landscape
between the raw fleshy pink of roots interlinked.

Color my garden with lip gloss, house paint, and dust;
sticky to the touch but lovely to behold;
Body slowing to rest, unnoticed in the still night,
art only when silence falls and my eyes are closed.

““Tell me, he said, “What is this thing about time? Why is it better to be late than early? People are always saying, we must wait, we must wait. What are they waiting for?” “Well, I guess people wait in order to make sure of what they feel.” “And when you have waited—-has it made you sure?””

“Finally, in a low whisper, he said, ‘I think I might be a terrible person.’ For a split second I believed him - I thought he was about to confess a crime, maybe a murder. Then I realized that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before asking someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.”

Miranda July, The First Bad Man
