lovely and imperfect

 ...re-examine all you have been told

in school, in church or in any book, and

dismiss whatever insults your own soul,

and your very flesh shall become a great poem,

and have the richest fluency, not only in its words,

but in the silent lines of its lips and face,

and between the lashes of your eyes,

and in every motion and joint of your body.
