Four Poems
The Origin of Kneecaps
Everything can be
a hollowed out place;
a thigh
that would be a rutabaga,
a vine that can only wrap
itself around itself,
a peach pit
more cavernous
than your own stomach.
You would be born
from a spine, umbilicaled
like the roped parachute ties
of a pomelo,
as many different cells
as there are pink pods
of crystalline water,
soft, crisp edges
buried beneath
layers and layers of sponge,
the smooth green skin
that built you turned
into your thick-veined
and porous shell.
Glass: A Journal of Poetry is published monthly by Glass Poetry Press.
