Painting by Rembrandt, 1656 Amsterdam, Rijksmusuem
The surgeon slices knowledge with a knife,
cuts where the scalp enfolds the face like hair,
saws the shell of skull, then lays the brain bare
seeking in dead flesh the sources of life.
Alive to his own darkness he's aware
a corpse cannot give up its secret twice
but still he probes the long-vacated place
knowing no why or how, but only where.
The Egyptians, when embalming, replaced
the other organs yet dredged the head's dome
with hooks to clear it of the jellied mess.
The heart was held to be the spirit's home.
But we know better - that this wet, grey paste
is where we live-yet still we feel homeless.
