What is
your purpose now –
a spirit
and soul, life-defeating sadness
the brain
exposed in medical terms, sinus,
carcinoma,
bccs,
blue eyes
shining, a face without pain, serene
uttering
half collected words,
what is
your purpose now -
the profound
sadness of your situation
falling
like a caress upon the beholder
the
innocence of your tears stinging the eyes
of others
to hold a
hand and demonstrate how to live
because you
are a spirit, a soul
and a man
That is
your purpose now.
The sight
of a dressing undone, revealing a sinus which had eaten through a person’s head
as far as his brain was sobering and extremely moving. I had not seen such a
wound before, yet did not feel revulsion or disgust. To have done so would have
been to belittle the person inside that frail body. The sight filled me with
intense pity.
