Ribs Under Silica Skin Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Ribs Under Silica Skin



Look here, it’s not that
one wouldn’t care
to metaphysically kiss
baby chick spare ribs.

Answering
another poet’s dilemma
as to why kisses
are in a sac of bones

it is for them to rattle
past their connections
by duplicating
rhythmic heart beats.

The rust that separates
the heart from the bone
is but the dust
of dried blood

lubricating the genesis
of virgin chaffing
and soulful
spiritual copulation.
