The Life of the Body

Hidden stories are imprinted in the flesh, flowing in the blood
Language in my bones, in fingers, in thighs, in feet and in spine
Stories that we can't remember memorize themselves in our bodies
What does the body know? I ask. What does the body know?
There's a rhythm, an order, a structure in everything
Repetition, symmetry
But I was absent when it all began
At the beginning of the sign, the form and the meaning
Of the language that we use
From dot to line, to plane, to form, to sign
Don't you liberate me from my body, it's in opposition now
I oppose the times, but I trust the future
The future of the material, the touch and the senses
I trust the future, the future of lovers
