Body concept





My body would tell you
stories about my life.
I would not deny it
in front of anyone.
Each little scar is representing
something that hurt me
and I got over it,
Each ounce of my belly-fat
tells a story about my perseverance
whether it comes to exercise
                                  or chocolate,
you said my nose is big and ugly
and my cheekbones remind you of an insect,
well, I’m proudly showing off with
                - for you ugly -
but for me precious parts of mine
as I own them and they serve me well.
You said I shouldn’t wear skirts
in the summertime
because then everybody would see
my mosquito bites and varicose veins,
well, those are for the conditions
                and inheritance,
come on, either you’re not hiding your genes
                                                               with jeans?!
You said, I should never wear a V-top
since the scar on my chest,
well, I have to disappoint you,
I love my V-tops as well as my scar
because if it wasn’t for that heart operation,
I couldn’t be here right now.
You see, my body would tell you
stories about my life.
I would not deny it.
You can ask.


There was a period
when I hated my body,
I wanted perfectness
I wanted to change my imperfections.
It had to pass for almost 30 thirty years
                to come to realize
how to respect something
that serves me so well
above all my expectations.
I can only love myself.

The tattoo

  - Ken-ny! Ken-ny! Ken-ny! – the stadium was on fire. The tanned man was standing in the middle, releasing the tension in his knuckles, waiting for his enemy. - I got you, honey. – As the darkness dropped from the face, Kenny could see that Kiara came forward from the shadow. His jaw dropped… * - Where are you heading to, honey? – Kiara was looking after Kenny as he quickly left their bedroom. - I’ve got some business to do. – said the man in a hurry and Kiara could only hear the slamming of the door then. It was not the first, nor the last night when she cried herself to sleep. Her girlfriends had warned her that this could happen once they got married, but somehow, she forgot about the signs. It was all her naivety, thinking that she can tie down a traveler, thinking that after years of adventure, she could tame a lion and ease his hunger with only offering herself on a plate. She was sure that Kenny is cheating on her – she was sure it would happen sooner or later but didn’t th...

Waves

       At the village, there was a legend that he was born in the river. Once, a toddler-form child just emerged there, or at least, that’s what they told. They never saw his mother pregnant, but the folk saw her play with a toddler. He was taken to the riverside every afternoon.      And that remained his favourite place – even though he had long after moved into the noisy city. His favourite place was close to the river: that was his getaway, his hideout when life was too much to bear. He loved watching the waves and tides for hours and not doing anything. Not doing was a thing back then. Somehow that river symbolized life to him. It was stable, unchanging, flowing continuously, no matter what: he could have changed his career, wife, city, could have gone off to the wrong path, but that river always calmed him down.       Not doing was a thing back then: it wasn’t empty doing actually. His mind was running in waves, as well, toget...

Half-bred

Kép
  (source: reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Art/comments/6ud3e9/half_man_half_deer_9x12/) My father was a reindeer and my mother a human. Well, I wish it was that simple. I am a half-bred but it has its price. We, half-breds are on the verge of society and we are forced to live in the forests, collecting berries and fruits to keep ourselves alive. You can protest against society but whatever menial living is still a living – unless you are ready to die. According to my mother, father used to be a human, too. One day, he was driving his car when a reindeer crashed into it. He was supposed to die in the accident because the deer’s antlers broke the car window causing lethal injuries in him. But instead of blood, some silvery slime was pouring out of his veins, covering his injuries. He looked dead for a moment, but suddenly shook himself alive and roared. His face shapeshifted first: his nape lengthened, his chin fell forward and his nose grew. His skull grew his own antlers. He ...
