Before he undergoes
What he must, let all be stripped
And stifled in white gauze.
Let, high above, a silent
Luminous maw have crept
Into position, open.
Does he at last consent
To anything that may happen
During the operation?
Searching a woman’s face
For courage, let him then
Inhale this gas
Made by the cricket’s voice
Acting on indigo oxygen.
