Open Heart Butchery

Rushed into butchery
Comatized by sedation
The cap, the face-mask, and the scrub…
Pre-operative ritual
…Blood-stained instruments
…The patulous entrails
…Your eviscerated fate
…Under my scalpel blade
A flatline carved in flesh and bone
Pathology of terror
Atrocities of medicine
Internecine carnage
…Blood-stained instruments
…The patulous entrails
…Your eviscerated fate
…Under my scalpel blade
Pulse is fading down
As blood on the green gown
Re-opened cavities
Emetic feelings
Undergo the operation
First incisions, mortal cuts
A butcher’s knife to split the omentum
Intestines torn apart
Resecting… Portions of the bowels
Depleting… Organs swamped in gore
Gazing at the ripped abdomen
Razed tissues, shreds of fat
Stomach ejecting his contents
Purulent innards I extract
Excising… Festered cysts I grab
Suturing… The surgical wounds
Depict the splattered epitaph
Blasphemous vademecum
An obituary as prognosis
Post mortem nursing care
…Blood-stained instruments
…The patulous entrails
…Your eviscerated fate
…Under my scalpel blade
…Just another corpse
…Onwards to the morgue
