An Organ

skin is an organ mapped
by tingles itches rashes
points of interest marked
in red seen or felt obscurely

flushes of sensation call
attention to a thigh a calf
face a palimpsest one life
etched in line and texture

cold warmth wetness even
light registers its presence
while absent in comforting
sheets cloth salve or touch
