And the hollow of Jacob's thigh
     was out of joint as he wrestled
     with God.
 
     And Jacob called the place ‘Peniel’:
     for I have seen God face to face.
 
          ― Genesis 32:25, 30
 
              "The pelvis is a bony girdle
fused from the ilium, ischium,    and
pubis bones"             They call Latin
a dead language    but here we are
                  Where was I
the grocery store is a     summation
of civilization                   the sacrum
temple                 my PIN wont work
oh bananas                remembering
the pelvis holds              the bladder
a reservoir of memories     flooding
memories descended           pooled
inward                between hip bones
the coccyx is                     in the end
the thing we outgrew           no one
                     remembers
bones are full of holes               
yesterdays                            nerves
need    .   .   .   .                      somewhere to go
sacral foramina                 for veins
           congregate in the groin
          
 
     Jacob wrestled          with
     hollow heart     wrenched
     thigh         Thy          Israel
     wrestled                  socket
                       hole
     looked within   ―the hole
     the whole                 holds             
                       Peniel
