The Loop Of Henle Poem by Julia Luber
The Loop Of Henle
Do you know what the Loop of Henle is? It exists. It truly is.
But I still can't figure out what it is. Even defined, it remains
an obtuse and befuddling mystery. And I am nonplussed and
uncertain of what next steps to take: I don't understand.
I honestly don't. Am I stupid? The definition is right there
in front of me. But I don't get it. I don't see it in my mind.
I don't understand the definition. Please explain this phenomena,
place, or event in the history of evolution to me. Please do so in poetry.
I am more apt to understand if you do so in poetry.
Not only the poems that rhyme and are devices strictly for memory.
But the poems that make things so poetic, complicated, elaborate and
hermeneutc, that I get to feel like I am some kind of genius, just to
understand through this new and novel way of explaining to me what
The Loop of Henle is. Mammoths are stuck in tarpits. Whales are turning
into beasts with tiny legs like centipedes and crawling out of the ocean, away
from water: Does it have something to do with that?
I’ve never heard of the Loop of Henie. but you’ve left me very interested. Something to do with evolution? Keep me posted.
It's actually an anatomical part of the kidney responsible for water retrieval from urine named after its discoverer, the German anatomist Frederich Gustav Jakobs Henle. I preferred our poetic interpretations of evolution and rivers in Scotland.
That's EXACTLY what I thought when I first heard of it, and I agree it sounds like that (which is why I wrote the poem) but it is a medical term used to describe a part of the liver I think that handles absorptions of certain byproducts of the gastric consumption cycle. Not nearly exotic as it sounds. My sister thought it was a river in Scotland that winds through the mountains and glades in a loop form!

Thank you for this honorable compliment! I appreciate it. And you chose an interesting set of words to rewrite! You know it's an anatomical term…..
