Recapitulation Theory First the round cheek of the taut stomach, navel an ear or blowhole, listening out for signals from the curved inverted globe. Then the bones, once out, moulding their sphere. The halfway house retreats. Darkened eyelashes frame new eyes; the layer of thin dried yoghurt flakes away. Coarse hair falls from his cheeks in the slow move from prehistory to now, a gill-less creature. Or, as it goes for me: the face smooths itself out as I recline, Madonna of the incidental, waiting for the roots of things to show. I listen to lost notes, the silent progress of the gut-shot features swimming back to their original element.
