Image for the poem The High Priest of O.R.

The High Priest of O.R.

The holy water sterilized
He performs his ablutions to prepare
His acolytes garb him head to foot
A crimson gown to hide the spray

The patient to be exorcised
Induced sleep, fever dreams
The priest incises, to be precise,
Probes the demons that therein lie

The patient wakens on a cloud
The pain a fading memory
He can only pray it won't return
As the high priest beckons
Expressing some concern....
