The Aesthetics of Bones
After the surgery
the doctor came.
I was still groggy
as I saw his beaming face and heard him say,
"Your operation was beautiful!"
And even under the fading etheric state I thought,
"What a horrible thing for a doctor to say!"
Two days later he showed me,
with a weird touch of pride, I should say,
my skeleton of the bones which he had set right,
my shoulders and collar-bone all in place.
He had brought a perfection to the broken down frame;
a rather marvelous job, I must say.
And I smiled secretly at my fear
of seeing what lay beneath my skin,
the exquisite beauty of sheer bones.
