Beyond the lush imagery & tension btw the organic & metallic there's real fear. I've never been inside an MRI but I imagine its atmosphere & demand of total stillness would drive the mind in these directions. I identify very strongly w/ all of this.<br /><br />I grew up surrounded by farms, spending my days exploring forests & mossy ravines, studying birds & insects & grubbing thru old abandoned barns. W/ puberty & its lust for renewal I craved purely artificial environments - steel, glass & the buzz of machinery. After so many years in the inner city, I now long for an almost transcendental bonding w/ the earth. Flesh to soil, bone to stem.<br /><br />W/out going on for even longer, I understand the fear & disassociation here but also love the poem on other levels....Slothropnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216178856677207859.post-88545227642248415292010-11-14T17:32:03.233-05:002010-11-14T17:32:03.233-05:00Hmmm.
