Don't call my number (Revision 2)
#1

Revision 2

T
ears were absent when the doctor
Handed out the diagnosis: hyperthyroidism
Most commonly resulting from Grave’s disease
 
Wisteria fell to the ground heavy in rain
Like voices thundering through silence
Attacking solitude
 
When he said not to worry, it’s easily treated
With radioactive iodine we’ll deal you
The opposite disorder; hypothyroidism
 
It’s just a life sentence; requires a pill a day
That comes with the promise of life
Leaving death to wait.


Revision 1.



In the absence of tears
tremors and anxiety
consume the day

the wisteria falls to the ground
heavy from rain
like a disease that comes
with a guarantee for tomorrow

Leaving death to wait


The Original

Don't call my number
___________________

In the absence of tears

Tremors and anxiety consume
Gray day shades of green
 
Wisteria falls to the ground
Heavy in rain
And voices sounding from the television
Wreck silence
 
Graves’ disease prevails
With the guarantee of tomorrow
Leaving death to wait
For the end of a life sentence
 
In your own, each bone comes alive
the skeleton jangles in its perfunctory sleeve....
