Body of Sweat
A collection of Poems on Sweat,
Pain and Presence
Self-portrait from the “Body of Sweat” series (2025)-
Raindrops fell on my skin
Like thousand salty kisses, crystalising
overporous glistening spots.
I moved my body forward
Into the vast field
tensing and releasing muscle
Sweat dripping down
washed by cold, cooling water.
Some bubbles formed
over my body like pain
wanting to be remembered
before it made way for euphoria
in a burst of shiny shimmers.
-
When I went out for a run
I felt aches instead of joy.
My thighs heavy
wrapped in cement.
Between my legs
sweat boiled
and spread like wildfire
I begged for mercy.
Desperate to endure
I held my breath
And kept running
wobbling like an anchor
dragged across dry ground.
The burn gnawed at me.
Tears blurred the trail.
Sweat carved
my skin open
a release that punished
on its way out.
