excerpted from the poem Noli Me Tangere from the collection Try poems by Cole Swensen © 1999
Whose flesh is water Know Below the face A stroke more certain A line of demarcation and Another face goes on To one of permanent touch To recognize the rest the line between flesh and everything flesh grew lonely and its own Keep on coming down to earth in little pieces.
