Habitations

Habits are not
Foreign bodies
Ingested
Nor parasites

They do not demonstrate
Strength, weakness
Or any quality —
Of who
They inhabit

They are not habits at all
They are habitations
Inhabited

As bones, skeleton
Inhabiting the body

They are what
Gives structure
Form —
To the shape

Of a life
