Constant Ly Poet Verse

Fever Spill

the taught red skin wrapped her wrist like a ribbon;
dim and so trimmed with disease.
all bruised from a blood-let cephalic incision;
she's thinned out and gnashing her teeth.
departed in sin, packing cyst into vision;
the brim is now flavored with grease.
knee waning ceases along with derision;
nodes flare and impair with a seize

the solemn defend what is friend to infliction-
a pick to their interlude fevered condition-
it's pierced with precision all cinched by collision;
efficient it crimps where she bleeds.
a lachrymose feed into feral rescission;
omniscient it pins down the seams

Constant Ly February 18, 2022 at 10:56 PM for some context, this poem is about old, pretty much just making worse methods of medical procedure- specifically blood-letting. The poem follows a woman with some sort of fever who is being forcibly treated with these procedures; having her arms cut to drain blood, as well as various other marring suedo-surgeries. The poem describes different phases of her condition, the state of the operation area, and the denial presented by the men performing.
