As if the leg had disappeared
					in the service of
	it lost all sensation
	the shell of it worked still
	producing a series of limps


The hand holding the available meal
						in the service of
	it lost all sensation
	its arm lumbered without forgiveness
	the eyes ran after peripheries


The breast would not return from playtime
							 in the service of
	it lost all sensation
	but haunted the belly
	like a fork
