Radiology
Hall
I just cried and cried,
then cried more
All the way down radiology hall
The tiny flowers
on my hospital gown
sank straight to the hem
I took all my clothes off
that day
and let my backside
hang out the back door
Unveiled, wires hanging
out
|
I cried lead
block tears
on the table
got Tammy the radiologist
wet as an umbrella
Dr. Storm sat with me as
I cried more than more knows
She gave me purple
mardi gras beads
Said I had flashed her
enough times
I wore dark blue that day
in radiology hall
and watched stethoscopes
swaying on doctor necks
I cried 'til the cows
finally came home for grub
This May, Gratitude
My body has reshaped it's strength
I now move soundly from a
sinkhole to miracle mile
|
A walk by new
spring buds
gives me hope and reflection
about the year past gone
The service men worked
me at a cellular level
They doused the blue meanies
with kerosene then torched
them good
I have been delivered intact
one year after the news
was passed
I now eat jolly food in
a holy manner
My new breasts have a higher
view of the world
They are stable and
represent voluptuous in a
playdough kind of way
Good is this day
Good is retaliation |
