An Anthology of Poetry and Medicine
Barnacled to the Bone
Barnacled to the bone
cannula ague
attached to drip trolley & drain
Psyche and soma dark
The Black Hole feeds
Doubts out of Lowry
Miles
Jackie Mac
Question idiom & impulse
(Marked cards)
Pain skews every equation
Erosion, swollen, stenosis –
Curvature, nerve damage
Delights sparkle through static
In a plastic world,
In spite ofs
So cold in the hospital
A poet can’t hardly sing
Hurry down sunshine
See what tomorrow brings.
