I long to tell you
but I’m missing something, what?
my esophagus
organ made of blood
elastic dreams and tissue
not the Kleenex kind
Red, white, blue and green?
circulating river stream
Oxygenator!
Once so proud and strong
now a dried accessory
Lady Gaga’s wig
each tremendous thump
the joy of being alive
with or without pain
