A poem in which the narrator is awake during surgery.

---

Fluorescent lights
Above
my eyes
And
The smell of
A
hospital.
Cool air
And
Curettes
hit
the

lining

Of my
Lungs.

Tissue

Pulsing
Twitching
Moving
at

Each
Little

prick,
Prod,
slice.

The lights
wrap
my skin
Around
My
Eyes
as I
watch
The
silhouettes
Of
Surgeons
