sintomas*

2

the nose: its diving headfirst into wind, its lift and flop
the chin: its love for hammocks, its pyrrhic aspirations

the vein: its unsteady arrows in single lanes
the eyebrow: its cliff hangers, its plein air sketching 

the philtrum: its silence concerning the wisdom of the world
the suprasternal notch: its quiet alley, its nest of fallen birds 

the bladder: its muffled trumpets, its watery bleats
the hand: its genius at picking locks, its open softness
