Heart operation #2
I had a pacemaker put in in 2010, I wrote this at that time. It was experiencing the lake in a different manner.
I have two wires in my heart no big deal
but they've altered my actions for a while
also my observations this dawning I sat
in the shallows not allowed yet to
soak my sutures stretch my swimming
arms after gazing a time over the still
surface I noticed the action in the water
in my lap small green fish with little black
tabbed gills too big for minnies swimming
under my knees over my ankles up and down
the curve of my legs in lazy leisure but with
an occasional quick dart nothing in it for them
but curiosity nothing in it for me but delight
