From Head to Toe, 40




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

Hip (a): ilium

The ilium—part of the hip—
Is largest of the three
That form the hips supporting you—
And, sure, supporting me.

It has an odd name, doesn’t it?
That mythic town of Troy*
Where battles raged I read about
When I was but a boy.

*I know--that was Illium. Just go with it, okay?
