Spineless girl
Hospital Bed Bouquet
A send-away
The stems droop with her body
Petals fall with her skin
Still romantic girl
In spite of it all.
Of the breaks
And the fractures
Against doctors wishes
Tending to wounds
Made up of epoxy and glue
Using parts of her own
Tuna can with the bones
And as it turns out
you can't really move without a fucking spine

Really snappy ending that almost takes away from the feeling woven in these words
"Of the breaks and the fractures "
Really hit hard as well
Thoroughly enjoyed
This poem evokes feelings of pity and sadness the image of a young woman broken in bed with more ailments than one can be expected to endure. Well imaged it calls out with anger for such misfortune. Nicely written
