From Head to Toe, 29



Head to Toe:
Boning Up on the Bones of the Body


Arm (d): clavicle

Your collar bone—so apt a name:
It’s by your collar (much the same).
Your clavicle—the science term
For this fine bone—so shapely, firm.

It’s also near the surface, so
It breaks too much (so sad, I know).
But all things heal—sure, some just don’t—
Mortality is one that won’t.
