poetry from Lyn Lifshin

SOFT TISSUES


Eyeballs burst,
a spleen ruptured
by flying rubber.
Part of a skull
broken away by
something falling,
exposing a brain.
Limbs fractured
by falling walls, a
jugular vein slivered
by glass. Thousands
of grains of plaster
driven thru skin
reveal themselves
as a tell tale haze
on x ray
