“Bone”
By: Lauren Laguna
Bone curves. Absorbs the impact meant to break.
Infrastructure, sturdy in design, but delicate in mold. For all outer beauty,
the white, subtle pieces, twigs stacked together in focused harmony. Weathered
by the daily abuse. The grinding inside the sockets, the constant jarring to
hold up the warm, pulsing flesh surrounding them. Absorbs the impact meant to
snap. The perfect puzzle mysterious to no end, once seen, seen at once and
everywhere, the graceful wrist, tapering fingers, the rising construction,
flying buttress. Man-made. Playing the mocking bird of the internal form of
itself. Absorbs the impact meant to crush. The straight-line will break when
stressed. The tense link will snap with jolt. The tout support will be crushed with
hammer. The linear curve, asymmetrical ivory, bends in continuous flow. Provision
for life sustained by bone.
