Steady heartbeat
Perfect little thumb
peaceful face.
Silver instrument
Silent scream
Whirl of blackness
Dull red nothingness.
"It's all right ma'am
all taken care of."
Really?
"Just a clump of tissue,
it's gone now."
Really?
Because I thought
tissues were for drying tears
and wiping runny little noses
not smiling and moving and being alive.
"NOT ALIVE."
Oh really? Really Doctor?
I think you're wrong this time.
"You can go back to normal,
don't worry."
Normal? I'm glad this is
normal for you, because
for the Life you just took,
I somehow don't think
it was.
