Age of Osteo Collosus

Thank you doctor,

it must be so, each bone depleted—

each wish revealed.

 

Doll of fired clay & dried fruit,

of glassy-winged genitalia,

detritus of peanut brittle, cold

 

steel, pumice stone, partial

knee, rubble swan neck,

taxidermied hummingbird,

 

tumbling twigs, tumble weed

joints, flared hand fans, ivory

splints, abridged bridge, thread

 

bare spine, hips—exotic endangered

reefs, Porous Taurus, X men, me.
