Abstract: The purpose of this study was to remove the liver, lift all three pounds of the smooth organ from our abdominal cavity, lay it out on a steel table, separate the four parts with our fingers, put our ears to the warm tissue, and palms to the chest to listen. We asked our bodies the following questions: How lonely will we be in the mouth? In the blood? In the heat? We argued that loneliness is a failure in wanting—wanting in the skin, in the muscle, in the bones. Our results were inconclusive; we found ourselves on the table shaking as struck birds.
