The anesthetic releases
its patient slowly
the old pain returns.
The shaking fingers
of X-Rays break
and enter. In the dark,
electrons chatter like teeth.
Nerves spark again. Blood
pushes its ice through tubes
cracked like old hose.
The crystal rooms
lose their perfect corners,
close into bubbles.
Energy relaxes, sighing
like a businessman after three drinks.
Crawling out to share our breath,
he cracks his shell,
bursts into flame.
