Fiction: Duodenum
I first fell in love with the field of medicine in high school Biology class. Hearing the names of those mysterious parts of the body--like incantations--holy words for processes that I could feel going on within myself. Like duodenum, a word that I adopted for the pit of the stomach.
Poetry: Daddy and Them
The last I heard from Daddy
He sent me the adoption registry
From his wife in Miami.
Where she went to wait for the end.
On a new development where the houses are all the same.
