Spots
on
the
liver
could
be
anything
.
She
could
be
transforming
into
a
leopard
,
finally
shedding
her
human
form
for
something
liquid
and
feline.
Or
there
could
be
galaxies forming
inside
her
–infant
stars
bursting
from
her
solar
plexus,
gravity
gasping
and
grasping
and
new
born
.
Her
body
might
be
composing
a
symphony,
all
those
grace
notes
and
trills
tripping
across
the
staff
of
her
rib cage.
There
will
be
tests
.
Of
course
there
will
be
tests
.
But
are
they
calibrated
to
find
the
leopard
camouflaged
in
the
shadows
,
or
the
light
that
’s travelled
for
a
billion
years
,
or
the
last
lingering
notes
of
one
of
the
greatest
concertos
no
one
has
ever
heard
?
