Fortune's Bones by Marilyn Nelson
Author:Marilyn Nelson
Language: eng
Format: epub
Publisher: Astra Publishing House
Recently, when scientists examined Fortuneâs bones, they found that his lower back had been broken, then healed, at some time during his life. His shoulder, hands, and feet had all been injured. The study of Fortuneâs bones suggests that his life had been one of continuous hard labor. However, scientists do not agree completely on the cause of his death, the injuries he suffered, or the diseases he survived.
And I am humbled by ignorance,
humbled by ignorance.
Standing on a new continent
beyond the boundaries of nakedness,
I am forever changed by what I see:
the complex, delicate organs
fitted perfectly in their shelter of bones,
the striated and smooth muscles,
the beautiful integuments,
the genius-strokes of thumb and knee.
In profound and awful intimacy,
I enter Fortune, and he enters me.
