20 Years

20 years old body,
Belonging to nobody,
Broken by everybody,
Coming out of all sin.

Wrapped in silk everyday,
Or in denim, washed away,
Body hanging all day
On the line coming in.

So unlikely to dry to dry in the sun,
Yet so dried out of wishes and lust,
Uncovered in age-old rust,
All the time on the run.

Phantasizing to be
Plain uncovered and free,
20 years old body,
Given to everybody,
Belonging to nobody.
