memory revises us
as in _______we walk out of our body
enter the world in various stages of crucifiction the sky is an anatomy lesson
viscera and brain positioned like twin moons
in the fetal forest of criss-crossing paths
we curl into the eyespot on a luna moth's wing is it heat one feels raising up roots of hair
or is it rain searching for what is lost in Pi
as in _______if we could eat what we dream up
our lungs would be created in images of fish what is the physiology of a woman's head
held under water for every heart soaked in brine
what is it we seek to preserve even memory revises us take this breast
with its flavor for b i o psy take this human knee to find where
the mirror shards have fused with bone as in the mind is everywhere dis sect ing
the mind is morphing the child. what comes across—
DNA song lyrics trees translating pixels_______letters_______ chromosomes—
a frightening blender the dead always murmurous in the living
possess us from the inside each night apparitions sync with our heartbeat
reflecting upside down in their silver spoons what has passed on_______ what we polish
like surfaith of the missing we are their re visions altared
curved bent broken splayed
as in the moment we see ourselves
from a distance the distance changes us
