Pictures representing “A Second Opinion”

A Second Opinion

 

I told you what was in my heart.
You asked me to prove it, so

lips

the next day,
I brought round the x-ray.

This here, I said, tapping the acetate,
is the shadow cast by a sleepless dervish.

And these black spots across my left ventricle
are starlings above a collapsing pier.

This mass here
is a hospital lost in a power cut.

And this rather dark abrasion
is a dead fox overlapping an empty wardrobe.

Naturally, you were sceptical,
turning the sheet over and over,
IMG_9393
holding it up to different lights,
calling in the neighbours for a second opinion.

My monochrome torso went up in the window
and we all stared at it from across the room,

IMG_9411

as if looking at my very own exhumed grave—
a skeleton jammed in a chimney flume.

IMG_9428

And I knew that to the untrained eye,
the September evening in my chest looked mild.

But I trusted you, implicitly,
to take your coat with you

on the way out.
