November 7

They cut you OPEN
in FIVE places
while you were
SLEEPING.
With their masks
and their gloves
and their
cold
sharp
sterile
KNIVES
they broke your skin.
With their
tiny tools and
fat fingers
they poked
pinched
snipped
and bolted
the cherry red
muscles
INSIDE YOU.
Where was I?
I was walking.
Time was passing.
The cold
sharp
sterile
wind
hit my face.
I pretended
the day was
normal.
You lying there was
normal.
I knew
in my HEAD
the cold
sharp
sterile
truth:
This is what you
need
to feel better
again.
This is what you
need
to feel better
again.




But my heart
baby boy
was too loud.
It was screaming:

They cut you OPEN
in FIVE places
while you were
SLEEPING.
