Acupuncture

Acupuncture



Leafing through 4,000 years of health history
At Dr Herbs surgery on Queen street
The alchemists herbs poultices and meridian mysteries
For my sciatic ailments and back discomforts treat

Oriental questions and consultations
Pinching and probing both the muscles and spine
This assessment proceeds his ministrations
During which I lay on the couch supine

Bio feedback with delta wave simulation
That caused my brain to be re set
Or meridian chi points stimulation
Finding the root cause of my stress



ACUPUNCTURE


Cold hands contrast by the cupping then there is hot embrocation oil
Herald the accupressure points probing craftsmanship and toil
Watching with a snore from the depth of sleep stage four
Even when he interviews new arrivals outside the surgery door

In a time machine journeying through unconscious memory banks
Sun shining bright in the Atlantic gazing at palm fronds
A tissue draped invisibly over needle terminals in my spine
I should return but I am not at home, I'm out, I'm gone

Chinese symbols dissolving from view of foot and spine charts
Balancing of chi and meridians the sacred energies they impart
Progress monitored by family members in attendance it is true
I can't get a more effective treatment, but neither can you
