"Battle Body" by Tanya Torres

Battle Body

The battles of this body
Have not yet been fought
Because it's new.

It is more new than old
And most of all
It is invented.

It rests on the shoulders of the wise
And regenerates as it understands itself.

This new body
Only needs
An infusion of the placental faith
From that first dawn.
