Rx for Healing

Medice, cura te ipsum (“Healer, heal thyself“)

Now, this recovery will require
a kind of alchemy,

of clay
& kinetic energy—

the repairing
of sinew,

the restoration
of bone

bespeak
transmutation,

deep-tissue healing,
re-growth. 

Each cell 
an oracle,

divining
wellsprings below:

in the nanosphere
of the body,

clay
becomes gold.
