atonement [2]

it is in my body
it was in my body all along
in my very breath
in my weight
underneath my skin
underneath the soles of my feet
on the tip of my tongue
on my fingerprints
beneath my ribcage
beneath my flesh
along my spine
along my shoulder blades
within my bones
within my blood vessels
around the softness of my breast
around the fullness of my hips
inside my womb
inside my heart
through my senses
through the sound of my voice
down the pathways of my brain
down the spiral of my genes
it was in my body all along
