[ NaPo 2019 ] Poetic Medic
WAIT!
Before operating on this sterile
body of work occupying
intensive care - defibrillate!
Conditoned critical, my poetry
lying there under so many lamps
death near
Charging to 500 amps;
shouts
CLEAR!
Pulse returns
and it takes a breath
Rescuscitated, weak, restored
hereabouts to land of the living -
no longer terminally pathetic
destined for a morgue shelf
When it comes to honest critique
my dear Poetic Medic is kind
thoroughly giving of her healing self
