—patient history forms, a valuable part
of the medical record.
Surprisingly the ph is correct.
Unlike the ick in vomicking
ist or o in historectomy
(sometimes k for c)
y in mygraine—
(though the personalization
charms)
d and k in cadaraks
(this one actually says: "so bad I can't
see my Cadillac")
or i and s in dimensia.
Failed phonemes—
each one a gift.
Found-objects
among the wreckage.
The Sun Rises in the East
All the atoms we have—
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen
occasional zinc, copper, magnesium
predictable as the solar system
equally indifferent.
They do what they do
mix match move here there
always every right way—
water carriers, idea formers,
little love-makers.
Monday—
shoulder's sweet curve
flash flare eyes and hips.
Tuesday—
seeding tumors,
closing arteries, inflaming.
Look! Beautiful.
Sunrise as predicted.
