Surgeon & a sundial

ice pack behind my knee 
carries a pulse of coolant blood
to the slug toe, scarred

a fault in the bone, either
from the ruse of knotted roots
or execution by stone

crawling clenching ache of it
my Elysian magnesium
mouth and muscles striving
(failing)ailing
for abstemiousness

oh, fuck that fuck you fuck this
