The Poetic Object;
exploring the psychology of self, spreading the word about the discipline of narrative medicine, & more

the self is everything

/ unfolded it gathers & contains

the blessed moment, complimentary

colors, the beetle & worm (ribs

& breath & belly & limbs)

the self is nothing / held

as it is between canyons a gulf

cradling water more bubble

than membrane, more steel (planet

or star or neither or both)

the self is every / thing a prayer

before dinner a stage

between ocean & the pool

of dancers whose skin

glistens still beneath rayon, denim

overalls, not cortex

but corpus callosum, a bridge

an archway a door a blossom

torn between hot fingers

a stippling, a wren

borders dissolving, places

without performance or pattern

color or stem or seed or moss

or mass or sand, no

the self is no / thing & even

the most poetic of objects

must go
