living as if I belong

To handle the stuff of our living was for me to be born again.
To take apart an animal's wholeness, the tangible experience of the complete
the smooth of liver and lung
the perseverance of heart

Later
to work the fat of the brain into hide
lustrous fabric
My clothes remind me, celebrate with me, that I am of this earth.
As my body belongs, so to may my living belong.
