“Things I Am Made Of” and “Homage to Steel Bars and Machines,” by Simone Savannah
things I am made of, or how to grow the glutes

sweet potatoes and hip thrusts,
my father who also refuses
to tell me he also has another daughter,
Do For Love by Snogh Aalegra on repeat,

“The Sky as My Canvas” and “Awon Thicker Body,” by Solape Adeyemi
The sky my canvas

Let me paint you
Using the wide blue sky as my canvas
Let me paint your highs and low
The dimples on your cheeks, the gentle slopping of your brow
The sweet swelling of your breasts
Let me paint you
Using the deep blue sky as my canv

“Beauty,” by Karol Nielsen
Beauty

My diving coach said I could be a model if I lost 15 pounds. But I had no desire to starve myself for beauty. I used to look in the mirror and assess my looks. My eyes were small. My nose was a little big. My hair wasn’t silky and smooth. And I carried a few extra pounds. But I had boyfriends so I decided I was good looking e

“Too Tall,” by Robert Woodbridge
Too Tall

Lankiness and growth spurt spaciness
took a tangled toll on faculties.
Spindly pins too string-bean leggy
to fit under desks, between the pews,
so tall in stature for grade four,
many targeted the child as struggling.

Nettling ageism so slouch-inducing
inflating gangly self-consciousness,
vertigo behind a reserved demeanor,
awkwardness

“The Hurt,” by Cassandra Crossing
The Hurt

It hurt when you slept my face
and you banged my head against the floor.
The blue marks on my thigh,
the tears and terror in my eyes
stood witness to your sin. 

“You’ll burn in hell for this,” I said, and
you struck me even harder in reply,
punishing me for your own guilt. 

You said, “Die! Die right there,”
when I was gasping for ai

“Tides of the Body” and “Heartbeat,” by Anne Whitehouse
TIDES OF THE BODY

Breath, shape-changer,
the organs gently swaying in their fascial hammocks
like the flora and fauna of an undersea world—
the yellow of the small intestine,
deep coral of the liver, green bile duct,
pancreas the color of the ocean floor.

“His Body” and “The Young Us,” by Ann Iverson
HIS BODY

a giant oak
that I wrap
myself around

or lie on top
while he naps
in the sun
late afternoons

one day I ask
what are you doing?
waiting for you to come lie on me

as we fall
in and out
in and out
in and out
of love.

THE YOUNG US

crouched down
one blue eye open
nothing could contain us then

"More than half your body is not human", by By James Gallagher

“Human cells make up only 43% of the body's total cell count. The rest are microscopic colonists.”

We are not even fifty percent human being!

This is the essence of the Body Horror genre.

Our body is not our own, our body is OTHER!

 We are not what we think we are!!

Just rewatched #StandByMe.
Had a few tears in my eyes throughout. What a brilliant, smart, wise film. What a well-aged film. What talent. Wow....

There is a universe where the #RaymondCarver story #SoMuchWaterCloseToHome is a prequel to #StephenKing’s #TheBody.

I don't know why I am going to do this to myself... but in the wee morning hours of #xmas eve, I am going to watch Season 5 episode 16 of #BuffyTheVampireSlayer - #TheBody.
