Death of a doctor

Be the shade from sun on the snow covered road
a white scar left where the basal cell was removed
deep and rooted
Be the cut of the surgeon's knife
the harbinger of news from tall places
the bridge you stood on the night you thought
I could if then not now maybe
be the long shadow that is lost in the dark
in a prairie city on a uneasy March night
in the backyard of your retinas
They are the ones you can see
Your discontent feeds your memory
The white ash is only the ash
of another barkless tree without birds
Your hands hold open a new book
They are not the hands that once pushed you
To obey or not to obey
is your choice
is your choice
Your recall is excellent
You put on your white lab coat
over the pressed striped shirt
over the black pressed pants
You put on your polished black shoes
You combed your hair across your forehead
You pared your nails
You noticed the white in the nail beds
It was telling you something
You listened:
"Today is the day you risk everything
to discover the last philosophy
of yourself on this earth."(Yvonne Trainer)
