Re: Wards of the Crown
I object to you making their
dissection pseudonymic.
Permit at least the privilege
of their names, now that they claim
no other privacy—the skin
flayed and hung, the soul specimen-
bottled in formaldehyde. Does
an alias steady your hands
to the surgery, let your knife
anatomize in good conscience?
How can we cradle your pen-scrawl
catalogues of pathologies—
signs of fetal alcohol
on the musculature
of the pneuma; long-term neglect
along the periosteum
of the psyche; extensive scarring
of the noesis from repeated
court-ordered visitation,
full penetration—how can we,
without a name.
