The lumpy feel so palpable.
The surgeon’s face so stern and grim.
The pathological report so damning!
Why me?
You cry out in the quiet of the night.
Scare shadows lengthen,
the icy numbness of despair
can’t be explained or
soothed away?
Once in a lifetime
is punishment enough,
why twice?
Is it fair you lament,
your agony unanswered!
Was life ever meant
to be fair?
