The surgeon at the table
before the first incision
those gathered round
attending to the patient
The surgeon at the table
holding the scalpel
cutting into flesh
to hasten the healing
Cutting out damaged flesh
the ache of the disease giving
letting go of the hold
of the patient in the theater
The surgeon at the table
using the skills they were given
to bring healing to the body
of the sleeping patient
The surgeon at the table
at the end of the procedure
looking at the stitches
hoping there is healing
for the soon waking patient
