Maybe the Body is a Loved One
Even the chimera has siblings and children
she resembles. Her lover has a hundred
minds, all of them snakes that emit
fire and every kind of noise. Her children
come out almost all lion, barely any snake,
no remaining goat. Her daughter
speaks and has human breasts. But sits
like a four legged creature. She conceives
questions instead of children, so want is some
undeveloped skill that mirrors the skills she has.
If asked to describe the sphinx, we’re given
the limbs. From animals, she sits at the dining table
with one leg up on the chair, knee to chest.
