the weight

Text

you are not your body

i am not my heart

pieces stitched together

are not yet apart


the real you does not hunger

she does not rest nor thirst nor sweat

the Soul is always living

she'd hate for her flesh to forget


they tear down fellow man

depriving themselves of what they need

rip through the skin

and all our sentiments bleed


but at the end of the letter

of body-soul correspondence

there's a red bottom line

drawn by what is beyond us


straight as a heart monitor

since before the famous lamb

the truth remains


we all weigh 21 grams.
