FEMUR
THIS IS THE MOLD IN WHICH YOU CHOUSE
TO CAST AND SET MY YOUTH.
YOUR WEAPONS OF CHOICE
FOR SPEED, SEDUCTION,
DANCING.
I RETURN TO THEM NOW
SEEKING OLD HAUNTS,
MARROW RICH WITH LIFE
AND THICK WITH MEANING.
MY SON HAS QUITE THE SAME ENERGY--
SMALL, UNFINISHED VERSION OF HIS FATHER.

SPINE
WHAT SPIRAL-SHELLED PERFECTION
HAS THE ARTIST THOUGHT UP TODAY?
ONE THAT BENDS WITH BLOWS,
CURLS IN PAIN,
UNFURLS WITH JOY...
ONE THAT STRETCHES STRAIGHT WITH DIGNITY,
THAT BEARS THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
AND DOES NOT BREAK.
About Me
- Kyra
- The profile photo is one by my favorite photographer, Inbal Sivan. I picked it I think because it depicts my approach to life and motherhood pretty well. The woman is just sort of chilling, thinking her thoughts. There's a naked baby on the table. That's cool. He's being looked after but not smothered over. The lovely world isn't close to coming to an end. Everyone is content, even the dog.
