Get Well Soon Poem by Rick Elpers

Get Well Soon



Through breath is entered
Life and death
Soft tissues take it all in
While the necessary gases
Flow into the crimson fluid
Invasion permeates a short visit
It's stain lingers filling liquids
To block the life giving air
Affecting the body whole
Dying to it and struggling
Under its weight
All effort is arduous
Day upon day hope for return
To the mundane who's prize
Is cherished

I love how you portray the body in this poem with your carefully chosen words, and how you could make the process of illness and recovery so poetic!
