The Surgery
The nurse who gave me the injection
smiled and said “you’ll sleep and
won’t feel a thing”.” But my wonderful
woman do I want to know and feel
everything do not cheat me of my
own death” I whispered but she didn’t
hear me
A momentarily fear, then the light
dimmed and I was enveloped by
a silken darkness, now I was weightless
and could be everywhere at once.
Stars are not distant and cold, tenderly
they absorbed me in a mild embrace
and the Milky Way was full of fat brown
cows mooing softly as I flew passed.
When they wheeled me into the theatre
the surgeon was smoking a Havana cigar
which he left on a kidney shaped dish,
its aroma wonderful and I inhaled deeply.
With a scalpel he cut an apple in half
nodded satisfied…sharp enough.
Switched on a sharp eye hurting light that
had green dots dancing around bent over
me, and cut my chest open, I was fearless
standing behind him whispering surgical
jokes about things left behind in cavities.
He suddenly smiled and told the nurse
a filthy joke about a penis that could talk,
she giggled and dropped her cigarette…
I didn’t smile at all.
