Gangrene

Opening the holes;

the wounds,

removing the bandages,

and letting the infection set it:

gangrene,

 

Sawing off the leg,

pitch black,

through the skin;

the infested flesh,

with no anesthetic,

the patient feels every

bit of it,

 

Black blood drips

to the unsanitary floor,

and clots below

 

The patient wriths

in pain,

at the amputated limb,

 

I pore rubbing alcohol

on the stub to end the

torture

 

Lights go out,

eye lids close,

the immense pain;

the patient dies.
