come and see me here-

reach your white gloved
hand into the pit of my stomach,
and pull out what you will.

just don't let
the nurses see.

they just changed
my sheets.

put the needle
where you see best
and don't let me close
my eyes.

whatever you do
don't let them shut,
make sure they're wide
and cold
and desolate.

in the end
they won't know it was
you
and you could be my doctor
if you dispose of the sharps
right.

i don't want you
infected.

it's a nasty cough.

ôte maintenant | tes souliers
et chausse à ton pied | quelque pelotes de nués
car ici désormais | est la demeure d'un ciel

I feel the same way - a bit at a loss for a response.  But, I have read this four times now - so that says it I guess.

Thank you

Now this is simply very good.
With your permission I would like
to add it to my Word File of poems
by others, (it will be in good company).

Again very good,

I like your style
sharp
concise

leaves nothing unsaid
