St. Luke (patron of artists, physicians, & surgeons)


take the appendix and

paint it with all the reds

of those high notes,


the blues behind

your eyes.


lean into it. draw a circle

and test the curves of

the lungs.


stretch them wide

open, find the trees

at their centers.


take a goldfish

and let it swim

in your chest.


see the light

beneath your ribs.
