I resonate deeply! “Embodiment, I learned, is not transcendence — it is paperwork.” That got me. I’ve had this come to Heaven moment with my body giving out. Took over four years to get back to some normalcy. I now listen when my body starts to tell me, hey lady chill out you are doing too much.

Yes. Exactly this.
Listening sooner is its own kind of mercy... even when it takes a while to learn the language. Thank you for sharing this.
Fantastic.
I loved a line in every stanza. I LOVED THIS:
"It’s the unglamorous miracle of having skin."
Yes.
No transcendence, no escape.
Just the work of being here, in skin.
This... I feel like I understand every word of this. You put my whole life into words. Insane.
Love it! And I know what you mean.
Greetings, Citizen.
Familiarity usually means the language finally caught up to the experience.
