Body Of A Man Poem by RIC BASTASA

Body Of A Man



what i lost
was simply my body
the flat abdomen
gave in to negligent
fats
my strong muscled
arms
got the flab

i detest what my
mirror shows me

this is not me
i tell myself

this is me
the truth insists

too much sitting
too much poetry

the thinking finally
kills the body
the spirit soars

this is the real me
forget the body
i finally proclaim
myself before me
Creator
