Call me -Dónall! <br /> <br />The ultrasound <br />hunts down <br /> <br />my liver <br />a great white whale <br /> <br />it roams <br />about the screen <br /> <br />trapped within <br />my body <br /> <br />as if it wanted to <br />break free <br /> <br />of me <br />& be <br /> <br />done with me <br /> <br />'Hey Moby..you & me <br />Moby...you & me! ' <br /> <br />The technician <br />leaves the room. <br /> <br />I climb back <br />into my clothes <br /> <br />pretending to be <br />human. <br /> <br />My liver <br />captured on the screen <br /> <br />frozen as a scream <br />dragged aboard <br /> <br />a whaler. <br /> <br />Thoughts like seagulls <br />scatter across my mind. <br /> <br />I leave <br /> <br />feeling only <br /> <br />an emptiness <br /> <br />inside.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/does-my-bum-look-big-sticking-out-of-this-hospital-gown/
