Of Bark and Bone

i am wary of your body.
sharp knees the elbows
a branch whipping out,
trunk so guarded
by sinewed limbs,
your hands the thorny twigs
the angles uncompromising.
yet within your ribcage,
between the stubborn strips
of bark and bone,
is a little bird's nest,
nestled, in a
hollow knot.
