Meniscus update.. and poetry.
I will be getting scoped soon, and I will recover in 14 days of the surgery. I will then be placed on a waiting list for the Meniscus transplant- a risky surgery that involves a year long recovery.

Vow
-
You fold me out
like the map
of eager scripture.
-
An anecdote of
hopes
stalling at the Dead Sea
scrolls of discontentment
storm me.
-
Avert your eyes!
There aren't the flaws
you burn to see
your irises frigid
from the source
of too many
wayfaring
dreams.
-
Skinning you clean
of the vows
that shake you like an albatross
Are you that guilty?
-
What is there
to give, when you've had the small globe
pressed between the tips
of your fingers?
-
Your heart lain, plastered
in the chain
steady with beats
around my neck,
forged from uneven links
-
Can I wear your pearls
in the same untempered fury?
the foolery of clams
stark with your list
of reasons
that fall off,
the illness their luminant ecru
-
Don't accept
that of which
you try to cherish
and give away
-
This tale has gone awry
and it's golden rule
of deceptive precision
is nonsense
when my submission
has passed you by.
