you open your eyes during surgery you don't see the surgeon
you don't see the
nurse you don't know
why you hurt you
don't see the incision
you open the medicine
cabinet you reach for the bottle of aspirin
you don't know you took two placebos
you don't know if its
enough to do the job
you don't know you being worked on then suddenly the pain you felt is gone you don't
know the medicine
you took is not that
strong you don't know
how many times you
been under the knife
you don't know how
many times the unseen surgeon had to
close your eyes open you up reach inside and save your life
you don't know you
a sinner under a halo

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY The Immortal Wize
The Point Of DustA poet alchemised a stone into a spear philosophy is poetic like the force that binds the stars. We read the world before we write the words, to hold the weight is to collapse; even gravity must let go of what it receives shattering the star to seed the earth. As above so below the pressure builds the hands release and the dust becomes the spear.  |
