Acupuncture and Cleansing at 48

No longer eating meat or dairy fruitss or refined sugar,

I lie upon the acupuncturist's mat stuck with twenty needle and know a little in what manner Saint Sebastian felt with those arrows

piercing him all above his poster tacked to the wall before my fourthgrade desk

as I bent above the addition and loss, tried to find and name the five oceans, seven continents,

drop of life-current with small windows of light strung

from each of his hurts blood like the blood upon my mother's pad the day she hung it before my face and said I was making her ble to death, vital fluid like my brother's that day he hung from the spiked barb at the top of the protecting enclosure a railroad track of stitches gleaming for years upon the soft inside of his arm, vital fluid like today when Dr. Ming extracts

a needle and dabs



a blot of red away, one from my eyelid, single from my cheek,

the needle trying to make open my channels of chi, for a like reason I can sleep at night without choking, thus I don't have to fear waking my wife

hawking the hardened mucus without so I don't have to lie there thinking of those I hate, of those who have died,

the needle

tapped into the kidney point, where memories reside, tapped into the liver point, where poisons bring together

into the feet and hands, the three chakra of the chest

that split the material part in half, my right healthy, my left in pain, my old friend's betrayal shapeless massed in my neck, my of advanced age love walking away thirty years ago

stuck in my lower back, father's death mother's

lovelessnes lodg in in like manner many parts it may take years, Dr Ming whispers, to wash them on the outside

telling me to breathe down-reaching to breathe hard,

the material substance is nothing but a map of the heart.
