Collateral Coronary Arteries
(Originally posted February 2014)
spontaneous filaments
leafy hand traceries urging
collateral capilar vessels to
shoot through new routes
around plaques and stenosis
corporeal instinct embedded
in brainstem and heart-stalk
a vascular dialogue of hope
in defeat of hot strictural
stormings of blizzards electric
that burn up soft internal
pectoral planes with angina
in full executioner wall-switch
dispassion for death as a duty
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

No matter how you describe it here
words are difficult to pronounce and hear
yet..it makes me feel one thing very clear
something is wrong
I have a fear
heart is not strong
Did anyone frown ?
or has Hope descended like a crown

Got to love any poem that starts with angiogenesis. My husband and his band buddies wrote “Gateway to Asystole” once. Warms the cockles of my Med.Sci degree 😉

On finishing this piece I experienced the same elation that I do from deciphering a Joycean sentence – except yours was more melodic.
