To the Surgeon

Remember the silent heart
that you will cut
and hold in your hands today

That heart beats with mine, fathered my children,
makes my morning coffee,

listens to my stories . . . is mine.

Tell your grandma
they let me take the watermelon

I stood in the middle of the road
holding a red umbrella.
I looked one direction, then the other.

Emotion. Faith. Trees.
You can cut them all down,
but you can’t argue with them.

I want to offer you two options:
One is a mask,
The other is nakedness.

Think clearly about this choice.
It will define your life.
