Surgery

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

everything went black

or did it just go
brain switched off
with a chemical snap

awareness rising
in bubbles
fizzing against the velvet side
of eyelids, opening to
sharper pain

& something missing

***prompt from Words From Windows

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    *flashback* I like this one lots, something we don’t often consider. Very observational and astute.
