[falselygold]

here is the poem i did for the show at camp. the prompt was to write about what we found beautiful, so i chose the skeletal system.

the arches spans and
planes of ossification,
zygomatic, joined in
the fluid synovial
a network frames and
support
calcified cathedrals
basilicas of bone the
labyrinthine sinus ways
many pronged phalanges
birdskull sweep of
scapulae
wavelike thrust of
ischium
the canyon ribs razor hips,
a genius design
intrinsic, necessary,
akin in all pearly and
whitestone the frame to
the stretched canvas of
flesh
clattering silent
unseenunknown
yet always there the
skeletal system
