lazarus

a friend of mine wrote a poem about the name of this clinic.

lazarus

- Craig Edward Flaherty

no intention in the tilt
that births seasons

an accident that summer
patches blue with light

that autumn patches same
with clouds that winter

strips to bristles
the luxuriousness of forest
the persistence of leaves

angled out of attachment
willingly abandoned to the cold

of wind rain ice snow       let go
also with the scheming freeze

fungi strings knots their speech arrested
long nights entombed       closed coffins

but the unintended tilt of spring
frees the rigor trembles the core
makes flow pump and pound
