ARS POETICA All of this delicate interconnectedness: a snowflake, a skeleton, sliver of chine, splinter of ivory, yourself, folded inside your own skin. Origami of bones poking out like spines: places for him to hook his coat, catch his laces on. Head, conjuring the image of headstone; frozen orbs sent down sidewalks and storm drains. Red, a baby measured in the bowl of a spoon; heart swelling inside a sternum. This autopsy of cells: nucleus, dendrites, arms of ice, falling to Earth to see oneself re-sewn. |
