Relics
Spine/I am shattered pieces of memory
Unwilling to part from each other
Compressing and extending in curves
Perhaps never straight
Shoulder/an endless possibility
A radius of a sphere
Everything and thus nothing
Almost insignificant
Fingers/we lock into each other
Each one of us flexes and extends
To create a knitted surface
Its dimensions always morphing
Elbow/who are you faceless creature
Who resembles something of everything else
An element too simple
Whose footsteps only exist in a single plane
Knee/whatever happens
whatever its complexity
It all comes down
To flexion and extensions
And Marrow/your invasive warmth
Crawled into my emptiness in silence and
You stood up slowly
And you became me
