Can you miss a body part like you miss a dead loved one?
Surgical Removal
Of the large bowel
Takes guts.
Inestimable.
Large, intestinal :
(No pun intended by the colon.)
But am I the only one to actually miss the fella?
To wistfully see old photos,
(Damn photos)
Of us
In a curry house,
Taking it all in,
Holding it,
Absorbing.
He never got a proper burial;
Cremation in the morning.
(Is it mourning yet?)
Hey, Amputee!
Remember me?
(Ward 23?)
You too?
You find old photos
(Damn photos)
Of you
And trusty Right Leg,
Footballs and ideas -
Just kicking them around?
Oi, Mr Sweatglandectomy!
Pine for those days
When you didn't exactly
Smell of pine? -
When you came out your shell,
Rose to the occasion,
But not coming out of it
Smelling of Roses.
Any thoughts?
Any water shed over photos
(Damn photos)
Of you on Corfu beach
With the Faulty Salty Gang
Just chilling,
Staying cool?
Can you miss a body part more than your dear dead Gran?
Can't you?
I can.
