Thanks Wired Ant for the disquieting music. The poem comes from a chapbook published in Adelaide, Australia last year.

bones

my cerebro-ladder
poles supporting my skin tent
fragile bones of desire.

my body is a temple
yet main supporting columns
diagnosed as deteriorating

in this calcified architecture
the bone-ladder of my spine
suffering from mettle fatigue
