The Body is a Map by Easterine Kire

The body is a map
It remembers every abuse
And every caress
Each time it was loved
Each time it was hurt
Each time it was fed
Each time it was starved
Each time
Each time
It carries the marks on its map
It is haunted
By the bad
But it re-memorizes
The good
The body is a map
It carries
It carries.

Ode to a Poetess came into being during the lockdown. It's during the brimming rains of August when I felt the necessity that we, women need our very own platform where we can share our thoughts in literature, as is,unaltered. This is a only women portal that welcomes all format of literature, art and celebrates it's creator, the woman who's unique, who is art herself! _Monroe Gogoi Phukan Founder of Ode to a Poetess.
