Great Regulars: The body becomes an open cavern

into which light pours as various internal organs are examined; when the heart, the defunct motor that ran the machine of the body, is severed from the cords that once bound it to the blood supply it finalises any usefulness of the man, it is an admission of his transformation from human being to inanimate organic object.

from Frieda Hughes: The Times: Monday Poem: Owner of a broken heart
