Pia Mater

 

a thin membrane separates

mammals and plants

ego and the social contract

anima and animus

my broken toe and yesterday’s

pterodactyl

 

tyrannosaurus, pachycephalosaur, triceratops

erectus, habilis, Australopithecus

sapiens, sapient

sapped of strength

 

sliver of thin membrane

pierced, notated, calipered, clamped

mind held in a liquid embrace

slip

slip

slipstream

it will suffice
