Hi, thanks so much for your feedback
I appreciate it your review. It's supposed to be more literary rather than a literal autopsy because it being a poem I can play around a bit rather than write out a step by step autopsy.
Its quite metaphorical so its not following an actual dissection - so it doesn't follow step by step.
I guess the idea was that its about the idea of dissection of a queer identity - so no its not for medical students
Historically people looked at phrenology or oddities of limbs to look for signs of abnormality or potentially queerness
My thinking for separate the heart with wires - as in queer hearts are the same as others but are separated (wires potentially prison cells) - from the cell (small details) to the chamber (bedroom). The queer body is an exhibition but also stained by the looker (and alludes to how a cell is stained). The brain may be fixed (someone trying to correct it) or fixed (as in fixed with a stain). This is what I was going for but its probably too obscure.
