A New Poem: Faith in Medicine

A believer knows what's true
in his own heart
allowing the bleed
to unbleed as those
dressed in white stand
over this believer and
take their eight years
of acquired knowledge
and fix the bleed, repair
the hole, remove the mass.
They do it with swift motion
unblinking as they embrace
the insides of humanity
while most fear the
truths of how
our bodies live,
and how they may die.
