pretty petty

i am not your pretty petty toy
fleshed light for living by
a place to warm your hands when chilled by haunts i’ll never know
i am not your fancy

i am not the path or your pleasure, destination 
latest flavor, a taste to test

i am

hardly your healer yet you’ll take me in doses
won’t you


you give little in return


we are sunlit clouds, and heart, we are ancient-coded glory
surpassing intellect and truths inherited
we are simple, a body blessed by soul and no different from you


nothing

and

all
