- A Surgeon's Legacy

Stressed flesh that heaves and
falls
at the tip of the knife...
such a natural repulsion,
as if it were allowed to sniff,
as if danger could speak
and carve it with licking.
A moment to hush her, to calm her,
then get back to it quick;
that which is due to her.
This is the moment hands shan't shake,
this is the heritage I own
and I've been good pupil.

Understand
this is no pleasure,
instead, a trial of faith.

It is cracking a chest,
the box protecting
the mechanism most sacred.
It is participating in the secret,
the prodigy of life;
the power to snuff it out.

Over the swirling fumes
of life itself, intoxicating.
Kill the beat of that heart,
ready for your Apokatastasis.

The knife has written verses on this skin,
omens that things change,
of the futility of opposing.
Each curve an acronym, the cradle of a word
on the verge of being
and I'm spokesman and witness.

Now scissors take over,
bayonets on a battlefield,
the flesh surrenders and it moans
like leather.

A work of art, ever changing;
cries are no more real than the
sorrow I'm feeling.
Blood spills, sputters, invigorating.
One more step of my journey
that I shall accomplish.

Over the swirling fumes
of life itself, intoxicating.
Kill the beat of that heart,
ready for your Apokatastasis.

Was I man when I acted as it?
Am I now more than appropriate,
savaging those not awake?
