✒Poems Exposed

Laborer of Heart

The darkness around
Is dimmed by street-lamps
At spots blocks afar,
As I travel with my auto-chariot.

I travel forth, the path deserted,
Over the night's hair,
Through the night's heir;
Back to where darkness ain't lit.

My eyes grasp the night's skull:
The silver plate ain't bright.
Twinkles' try to help it: a try of vain.
To shift much light, was there no vein.

Arteries linking those lanterns,
Which start from a transformer's heart,
Make shadows on the uneven road.
And the shadows mimic a rib cage.

I threw myself through.
Juck! - I smashed the brake sudden.
My heart froze to the lights of blue.
My car squealed to a cease.

Panting, I turned a gaze back.
Only my gasps did I hear;
Only pale darkness did I see.
But, then, where has it gone?

Or was it my eyes fooling me?
No, never, I saw it for real.
I saw him for sure, no doubt.
Who was he; that silhouette?

I'd known him, whoever he was;
That body was so familiar.
But, now, to where has he faded?
I restart; my pulse over a cent.

The headlights pierced through the darkness.
My heart neared the comfy pace.
But, my brain pondered on random:
What did I see? Who was he?

Juck! - again that sudden smash.
Why? Another shadow, afoot a lamp.
My heart slowed to a pace of ten.
My lungs slept with each drop of air.

I cut my head to the lamp.
None; no one is there.
Oh my-! What am I seeing?
Who was he, whose body 'nother familiar?

My hands are shivering.
And so do my lips. Cold and numb.
Oh dear God, what haunts me?
What, why, how?? Please, an answer.

My hands shivered to the steering.
I drove fast, my eyes photophobiac.
Aaaaaahhhhh - a feminine scream.
Aahhhhhh - My counter scream.

I had opened my eyes,
As her scream just sparked.
And I saw it, I felt it:
A female body in front my car.

But my car hit none, I know.
My whole body was ice.
Somehow, my eyes leapt to the road.
It's plain. And. Empty.

Her body too, seemed familiar.
Who was she? Who were they?
I can't bare myself. Aahhhh.
I close my eyes; feel the lids' warmth.

Oh my GOD! I know them. Ho!
For clarity, you should know:
I work as a doctor; flaired on hearts.
They were patients, euthanized.
