the body's shape is true
its wisdom is intact
its wisdom is intact
my limbs chaste
perhaps not an immortal
but never expendable
still a chosen one
my frame rich and heavy
as the best garden
vivid and fat
my self feels anonymous
wants to answer now
seeks surrender

Pic: My mom and sister sent me a photo of themselves playing holi with friends yesterday! It gave me joy just to look at it and made me me want to schedule a Holi date for later this month when things calm down a bit. I love how holi anonymizes everyone... you can barely tell who's who and can't tell their gender/age/class/color.

What a great picture! They all look so full of joy and I do like how it anonymizes everyone!!
Nice.
Holi looks so fun!!! Look at those smiles.
Beautiful poem! And I've heard of holi- actually it was on a baking competition and everyone made vivid, colorful cakes. Love the photo!
I walked near the Indian Embassy today and there was a HUGE party with lots of music and colors and happy people.
I thought of you and sent you well wishes and a virtual sub, of course!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Right? I miss it!
Wow, Jenny! I love the idea of Holi cakes. And I think color runs are a thing too?
Ha! Thanks, Steph! I saw lots of happy Holi-ers coming off the MSU campus on Saturday too!
Lovely picture
Thanks, Steph--I love it.
