A botched biopsy in the OR leading to false hope and a second surgery.
Pre Op

Knife to neck,
Scalpel to cure.

All clear,
margins good,
Benign.

Champagne corks fly
Call friends
Celebrate.

Fowl fiendish follower
pathology report,
Malignant.

"Again"

Fuck Off.

Shove corks back,
Call off friends,
Celebrate Rage.

Pre op, today I go back,
Twice in two weeks.

Knife to neck,
Scalpel to cure.
