I’m getting versed in the unspeakable:
the architecture of a lung, tributaries

of veins, and pain, all kinds: white-hot,
bone-ache. Removed from all contexts

a bruise can be beautiful: pastel,
galactic, nascent. The way skin

grows up against a suture, shifting
dunes. If all goes well, we replace

ourselves. This is the brachial,
this the subclavian—

remember,
a life is motion, and nothing less.

    You must forgive me that the very first line came across as too raunchy for words… *finds ice bucket and pours*. A stunning philosophy with poetic anatomy.
