Yggdrasil*
*Yggdrasil is an immense tree that is central in Norse mythology, on which the nine worlds existed.
The water soluble contrast
Courses the biliary tract
Outlining channels of this power house
Of biochemical bustle
In the sixth intra uterine week
Before the first heart beat
Spring forth the buds
Branching with speed
Intrinsically it supervised metabolic activity
Storing glycogen to sustain the fragile conception
Till lips put to bosoms
Bond eternally
Four sectors nine segments
Anatomists and surgeons over time
Divided it in lobes on gross appearance,
Along the falciform ligament, down to vast
Blood supply
To the histological lobules
Centred around the portal flow
Bile running down the canaliculi
Chylomicron ferries for cholesterol
Channels lined by
Macrophages,
Microbodies, detoxifying sorrows’
Drowned in alcohol
Clocklessly watching over body homeostasis
Balancing delicately
The metabolic equilibrium
Enzymes, vitamins, bile acids and salts, clotting factors
Conjugating, Purifying
Disassociating, drugs prolonging mortal existence
On the image intensifier
The biliary tree materializes
Yggdrassil!
