If my body were not mine,
I entirely my body's,
By it made, by it possessed,
Then would I be capable
Of self without permission?
Would you? But you know you're not,
Quite, as I knew I wasn't,
Quite, because we are not whole
In any body, although
We fly, attached and tattered
Like military pennants
From one besieged battlement
About to fall at a time.
We were the wind that ripped us.
