A Poem by Ted Millichap
The lungs expanded and drew in fresh air
(The limbs cried out for oxygen
and withered for lack of fresh blood.)
The heart had closed the pulmonary veins
and simply recycled blood
last oxygenated by the first inspiration
at the birth of the body.
(The limbs cried out for oxygen
and withered for lack of fresh blood.)
The stomach took in sustenance
in the form of wine and bread
to enrich the blood with refreshed red
cells to feed and protect the weary body
(The limbs cried out for oxygen
and withered for lack of fresh blood.)
The hardened arteries of the heart
blocked the flow and failed
to distribute the riches anew.
(The limbs cried out for oxygen
and withered for lack of fresh blood.)
