I do not fill this body.
These too long legs,
and spindly arms.
I am tucked neatly away
Occupying the space
Around my brain.
This chest is a drum
These are not lungs
But empty caverns.
This body is a galaxy.
Too large to fathom
I am an atom
With too much
Extra room
and too afraid
To roam.

Cleverly composed. Always a fan of poetry merging itself with science.

I love this piece. I particularly like the line, “This body is a galaxy.” Such beautiful use of language and the rhythm was perfect for the feel of this. Amazing work.
