surgical precision, succinct slices
unnecessarily carved in my psyche
so much for that oath you swore
an affront to your patron saint Asclepius
invasive; searching for something nonexistent
stained scalpel forcing gnarled scars to bloom once more
always denigrating the symptoms of disorders you diagnosed
sections and segments for you to fix;
always so self-sacrificial
scolding and scalding in a way I began to see sentimentally
so long to sadistic doctors,
plagued by superstitions
I’ll stick to simpler self-flagellation
