On Having a Sentinel Node Biopsy Recently


haunting memories of you
glide past my consciousness,
a futile attempt at rationality;
bolts of pain...
increasing in intensity
travel sideways through nerves
awkwardly attempting
to seduce the onslaught;
cheap thrills and rushes
form patterns of non-compliance
lying on the hospital floor
after nuclear medicine
injected blue dyes into my foot.
