The Surgeon at the Table – v2

The surgeon at the table
before the first incision
and 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 its 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
