Hip
How delicately you connect my whole physique,
The upper part and the lower half into one;
Leaving no organ to be unworkably weak,
Uniting the whole like the universe fine-spun...!
Joining my legs and the trunk of my body well,
Fibers, tissues, nerves, bones, flesh, and blood together;
As a honeycomb combining each little cell,
You have bound the body like the wing and feather...!
Knit into, like thread in a loom or rods welded,
Two bones: the pelvis, and the thighbone or femur,
Ilium, ischium, and pubis - well felted,
All beautifully set as though by a reamer...!
Like heaven and the Earth delicately unite,
O hip, you maintain my physique splendidly tight...!!!
