Star pickets on shins

Folder: 
Its not beautiful

Gaping wound mouthing its pain at me directly 

Red voiled words strain themselves from makeshift lips

A tongue of bone  sits across the torn out scream 

Sputtering and gurgling as veins add to the heated furore 

The surgeon peers and wipes over the crass outpouring 

Silence, then muted sobbing

dirty red mouth needs  washing.

flushed out 

More unruly crimson defiance! Deftly Muffled again

the gaping makeshift  mouth  mutters a desperate prayer

giving a resolute yawn and finally relaxes

Scrubbed and trimmed, Stiched into a peacful crooked smile.

Docs got it all sewn up! 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Not easy with your kid in surgery but definately harder before!

After The Crisis

after the work is done and the offspring delivered into the halls of the medicinal and the miraculous, you crumble. And write poetry about the after hours. Yeah, I know this feeling and send empathy and MORE EMPATHY
