#NaPoWriMo 2024 day eighteen

the body betrays itself
in many different ways

because of desire
or in spite of it

because of memory
or vain imaginations

because of youth
or because we age

through distraction
or too much attention

through much effort
or the lack thereof

through many questions
or the wrong answers

we learn to negotiate
the differences

we find ways to justify
the decisions made for us

the body is a great mystery
discover new ways to open it
