Of Questions and Answers

By Ayesha Asad

I have wondered why my body

looks the way it does in the sun.

Brow bone glittering, sweat

tricking like the last swill of water

down a glass, blood circulating

like clockwork, a gear so visceral

and rooted in its own


where sweat accumulated

fold of my thigh

my right collarbone

is stickier than my left

heather grey shirt

glommed to the small of my back

the armpits

always the armpits

advertising to all

“heat was here”
