White bralette of clouds
holds the bosom in the sky.
I take my daily X-ray
without a vest,
and ask myself later
if it was my unspoken
wish to die.

Funny, I’d never thought of clouds in that way before.
Oops, looks like rain!

Lovely agile piece, moving from lightness into darker places, and so much going on beyond the words on the page. Bravo.

Lovely imagery, K. I was just thinking about something similar the other day after having an X-ray of my neck. What happened to those vests we used to where? Hmm. Happy weekend, my friend.

Yes, exactly. Was it always a charade, then? This iron vests. I do hope your neck feels better soon. Happy holiday weekend to you, as well.

Ah, I don’t know, maybe it was a charade. I almost asked when I got my X-ray, then didn’t. Oh, thank you, K. It’s much better than it was. Thank you. I’m looking forward to a few days off.

It’s eerie you said that because a part of why X-rays were on my brain is that I had a dental X-ray impromptu-style last week and the hygienist didn’t use a vest. I only realized it when she sat me up and it was Siri g there across from me. Free radiation for all these days, I suppose. Happy Friday, Jeff.
