Piece from my ongoing found poetry project using my college Gray’s Anatomy textbook as a source text. This one originally published in Harpy Hybrid Review. www.harpyhybridreview.org/hybrid_works...
A block of text from a Gray’s Anatomy text book in which most of the text has been obscured by color and ink to reveal the following found poem, “Lips”:

Elongated depression/ an actual gap/ a process/ lips and not carefully concerned and have a limited application to bones.

"But would we burn the bridge that forsakes the way back to Eden?" Revisiting this hybrid collaboration 'The Art of Minor Incarnations' in the latest issue of @harpyhybrid.bsky.social. My poem with stunning art by @rfredekenter.bsky.social🪷 Full Alt text in images below. #poetrycommunity #hybrid
The Art of Minor Incarnations
Issue #11: Fall 2024
Vikki C. and Robert Frede Kenter 

We begin with a single stroke, expecting more. A smile or a furrow of implied grief
that common expression fails at. I tell you, this is what I do. Acts which earn nothing
but keep the spirit above the body’s dead weight.

Except, I’d rather go deep into the wild. Chance upon what most only imagine.
I saw a famous painting once. A lake of waterlilies, like pastelled idealism,
the Japanese bridge vanishing into mist. What would hold up such crossing but love?
Or some hard labour for the lonely. Studios of unfinished light. A glass display of affection.
Abstractions the bystander labels with a non-human cost.

But would we burn the bridge that forsakes the way back to Eden?
Or declare peace with the artist who paints blooms larger than our fists?
I don’t know how to fight anymore, nor resist moving on.
I’ve grown tired of the transactional. And reproduction has nothing to do with it.

They claim a work of art is only worth its copy. But there’s pain in every birth. Yet pleasure
in the making. We create to outlive ourselves. You and I, lying with our limbs a sorrow apart.
But always closer than knowledge.

I went further today, lay my troubles by still, green waters, listening to some late orchestra;
the shutter of his camera capturing a revelation; the drunken frenzy of bees as they witnessed
us trying to replicate such fertile gestures. Straddling the honey that keeps the canvas wet and
devoted. Like talking to God on a Sunday — then turning our faces for a week, plunging with
the koi into a darker faith. We know, in sinking, there’s no prayer in our lungs until the cold
shakes us back to humanness.


1/2Like every curator knows, the prophecy about love is that it ends. So we try to make it daily.
The act of reproduction is pleasure enough. The lotuses dirty beneath, pristine white from
above. Because it gets complicated, we fantasise being the first. Both origin and creator. We
hope to be the undrowned. Minor incarnations in circadian lament. Yet still, we aspire to be
less — a fragrance worth a small revolution.
