Redemption


In a cold, darkened room, three jars sit silent.

Contents compromised beyond redemption:

scarred, malformed--nonresponsive to intervention.

Replaced, no longer functioning as either

pump or emotional container,

naught but specimens earmarked for dissection.


Where once life juices traveled

coagulated blood hides in damaged chamber.

Neophyte's scalpel cuts: flaying

open cardiac organ,

quiet and incapable of song;

exposing nerves of both

although now,

only one vibrates.


Lessons taught, slides viewed,

wall clock beats on: time for another class.

A gloved hand returns fisted muscle to jar.

The student twists the lid closed and walks away.
