unnatural acts

By Marg Yeo (1987).

i want to break my body
open and find out my heart that odd
persistent pump like a clenched
fist pounding the lungs to
breath the blood to plunge
reckless down artery and vein and
back again

i want to strip
off flesh and find the meaning of this muscular
punch that pounds the life always
into me

-- From "unnatural acts" unnatural acts (1987), p. 30.
