Flesh - a composite of poems perceived, evoked, discovered, moving between and among sensory boundaries as they eschew forward, backward or around exterior life to interior. Here
Flesh of person, nature, language, spaces meet separate and become one.
Flesh as surfaces, layers, textures, beings with sense memory perceptions of an unforgiving
Flesh that scars and the forgiving
Flesh that rebuilds itself.
