Symphonies written
On a velvet-coated
Cherry-wood bench
Organs for an organ
Switching out kidneys
For tuning and hitch pins
A cautorized heart
For a pin block--
Sheet music like
The dark spots
Clinging to an x-ray,
Laminated
Consecrated
Examined
As if a bit of transparency
Is the Keystone
To a blurry existence:
The rock bottom,
The necessary Awakening.
