from Almost a Figure
What holds the human body in human form?
I was in Belfast, you were hospitalized &
tested. I kept dreaming of doctors with enormous hands
abusing flowers.
And of a sericulture room, dimly lit
where the single
long filaments of silkworms
were drawn from empty cocoons
by machines
that stretched the limits of death and beauty by
necessity.
– Katherine Larson (2006)
