Two Poems
Philip Quinn

Broca's Best Infectious Tendencies

Proclivities
and surface tensions

the priestly prions

Or a complete infestation of ink worms
Bulleting the brain, tangling it in knots
So the comprehension disappears

The eyes are mirrors of the soul

Sub-orbital machinations consuming light
The capsules of tenon

The eyeball is composed of two spheres

love and the external tunic
tattered & bruised

the cavernous spaces near the anterior chamber
the heart flushes through the veins and the vain
