Inked with Love: Body And Friendship and Everything Else on My Mind

When I sit completely still,

and when I am not talking,

I am two Lungs breathing.

and a Heart heaving.

Nothing more.

They’re telling each other

‘I’m working so hard so you too, must work so hard.’

It makes me think of community.

When I am not thinking,

I am just a body

that only knows to keep beating.

Without a second or even first thought—

because my organs

 owe it to each other.
