Black Cloud
Some surgeons are black clouds.
Disaster follows. Thunders down
From the dark mountains
In waves of cumulonimbus.
Sturm und drang. Waves of pain,
Shivers and rigors.
Perforated colon in a cirrhotic
Internal hernia in a hostile abdomen.
Mesenteric ischemia.
Intractable bleeding.
They wait in the call rooms
Like angels of darkness
Who emerge when beckoned,
Wings extended to block out
The warmth of a sun
Only they ever feel
