i started accupuncture today

railroad tracks
running down my leg
swollen and lumpy
i offer you my body

like second hand tackle
or a war scarred landscape
metallic and grotesque
i offer you my body

would you trace your fingers
over the map of my life
cool hands on burning flesh
i offer you my body

creaky joints and spindly veins
prone to cramps
risk of clots (filter installed,no worries)
i offer you my body

salut

Hi Elazar ~

Massage/acupuncture schools would appreciate having a copy of this poem of yours. I've enjoyed the wonders of acupuncture myself, and find this a very interesting response and "take" on it.
