Tanya Aquino

Howl


Carved it
on my body.

Engraved it.

Made the bones show.

Eroded angles

slowly like sand.

Gouged shadows

under eyes

and under brutal hips.

A tale of gaps

and hollows told on skin.

A potter with wet clay

and one sharp tool at her disposal

scoring, over and over.


My body is my howl.
