Larynx, phonation
The color pallette
has been reduced, and dried
in order to avoid triggering
a too-vibrant self-knowledge
Larynx, inspiration
for october poetry mini-challenge @ Read Write Poem
3WW, The Final Chapter (and Week No. 538)

Wow! Title and poem both. Wow! Can I even see this on a doctor's office wall? Wouldn't that be a sight! And that last line, now that's compact and potent, yes. Oh yes! I'm gonna remember this one.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people avoid a too-vibrant self knowledge...they wouldn't like it much.
ReplyDeleteI quite like how you constructed this. Well done.

i don't always enjoy seeing inside those diagrams. grateful for the softer color palette! great inspiration for a poem series.
ReplyDeletenice touch with the self-knowledge
ReplyDeletehave you seen the online "adam" with his anatomical landmarks? now, there's a creepy little thing
thanks everyone for reading!
ReplyDeletebear - heh, yeah there should be some sort of disclaimer next to the diagram, but then again the pictures are existentially disturbing enough.
radio - it's hard to be comfortable with the knowledge of one's own insides, sure enough.
carolee - yeah, i think those diagrams are just there to give us something doctory to look at... yet i'm drawn and repelled at the same time.
briar - i'll have to look up this adam... is that the guy from the funny pages?
You could take all four of these and make them one longer poem--a section poem. I love, love, love these!
