she didn’t survive the operation
each time his scalpel
opens skin
and shows the mystery
he becomes God
surgeon, also lover
like a poet
he performs work
on himself as well
he’s cut so many pieces
they don’t fit together at all
darkness pushes softly against light
ready to plug any hole
he will lose this one
write a poem, maybe
close his eyes
when he makes love
to his wife tonight
each time his scalpel
opens skin
and shows the mystery
he becomes God
surgeon, also lover
like a poet
he performs work
on himself as well
he’s cut so many pieces
they don’t fit together at all
darkness pushes softly against light
ready to plug any hole
he will lose this one
write a poem, maybe
close his eyes
when he makes love
to his wife tonight
