As a student, I stitched
a cadaver together
while my professor
said you must
be a predator,
must see the body
as parts within
a sack of skin.
I wish I could
see the body
like that now—
how it is
right here in my hand
and also my hand.

As a student, I stitched / a cadaver together / while my professor / said you must / be a predator . . .
