Resurrection Shifted To Monitor

I died on surgeons table
Before surgeons knife sliced my chest 
Before anesthesia put me to rest 
I died in imagination as hopes die in fable 

Vivid thoughts ran amok
Which new abode I will go, if I die 
What new way I will live, if I survive 
Mind clueless, thoughts at dead end fork

Malfunctioning Valve plucked out
New Heart Valve transplanted 
Ribs cut, Heart put on ventilator 
Surgery over, operation table light put out 
With dangling drips, in ICU, I was shifted
Resurrection hopes shifted to ticks of monitor
