He steps out of the shower and into his body,
trying it on,
situating the muscles atop the bones,
adjusting the mass, the dimensions,
shaking out the width, the stability,
judging the play of gravity,
and just how
the weight of the world
will sit
on it today.

Thank you for reading, Cynthia, and for your kind words. It’s been sliding in and out of my awareness for months now. I’m not quite sure I’ve done it justice!
