aorta
(12/17/03)

aorta - twisted inverted overflow within
aorta - renewed oxyrich corpuscles released
aorta - tiny internal corridor of life
aorta - common to all distracted opposites
aorta - constant amidst pulsing pressure changes
aorta - maid in waiting to the left ventricle
aorta - aorta aor

tiny daughter of Aaron approaches
overburdened by a small portable ultrasound
leaning to the left to counteract its weight
“would you like the good news first and the bad news second”
“would you like the good news first and the bad news second”
“would you like the good news first and the bad news second”
“can I test my new machine on your aorta?”(implied)
“on your aorta
  on your aorta
  on your (Samaritan) aorta?”

oh Elyssa ... great grand daughter of Moshe’s line
drawn out!  a true Kohathite 
excelling past the other students
proud stunted heir to pure breed blending
condescending toward an ailing northern cousin
eyes slightly higher than my inflated middle-aged gut
protection (handshoes) zwei handshuhe of purple nitrile
“sure why not, go for it” (but silently to myself)
“why my aorta
  why my aorta
  why my (Samaritan) aorta?”

aorta - reliable to crazed and sober brains
aorta - contained in vagrant and in power’d thieves
aorta - largest vessel serving smaller branches
aorta - n’er blue rising from this common center
aorta - arched tubing useful for one hun’dred years
aorta - there between the pumping and the gushing
aorta - aorta aorta aor

oh Elyssa ... fair fine offspring of dead high priests
made strong! a true detective
probing places where most would not dare!
small lucent sprout of stern chaste beauty 
charitable toward a cringing crossbred gentile
arm fully stretched out placing soundhead on my chest plate
connection (clear gel) Aquasonic transmission complete
“it seems that there‘s nothing wrong with your aorta?”(implied)
“with your aorta
  with your aorta
  with your (Samaritan) aorta?”
“would you like the good news first and the bad news second”
“would you like the good news first and the bad news second”
“would you like the good news first and the bad news second”

“the good news please!”

“the cat scan shows that you are not passing a kidney stone
but that you do have a pinched sciatic nerve...
you certainly must get an internist, I’m prescribing
800mg of Motrin four times a day and if the pain
doesn’t go away in two to three weeks,
surgery might have to be considered, 
but this is something that you must discuss with a regular physician
please make sure that you schedule an immediate appointment”

“yes, doctor, thank you! and thank you for testing my aorta also!”

aorta - conduit of our internal time piece
aorta - pathway of our ev’ry living moment
aorta - vacant when our mind is shortly dying
aorta - knowing more than knowing at its finest
aorta - flooding when the valve is opened widest
aorta - archway from mere life to precious passion
aorta - aorta aorta aorta aor

search and soundings
life in living
faith not finding
frail and wincing
this is a journey - aorta
stained blood passes daily through my aortic valve 
your inner siphon bathed in purity
it would take a “Lot” to justify our behaviour
Abram fought to keep us both together
Elyssa you are so far from me now

aorta - aches from free flow when the work is rough
aorta - hold harder there when the anger's rising
aorta - centers the mass when the brain is raging
aorta - arched bending down when the flow is inside
aorta - hoping it's depth not to be dis-c'v'rd
aorta - i guessed it's true! this we have in common!
aorta - aorta aorta aorta aorta aor

aorta - aorta aorta aorta aorta 



A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart
out of your flesh, and I will give you
an heart of flesh. *
