Valentine

The love heart, 
on the card,
seemed wholly inappropriate-
no dysfunction, damaged tissue,
not even any blood.
I wanted to redraw it,
paint in some reality
in vivid red and crimson hues.

Eventually I sent it,
carefully addressed it to
‘My True Love,
care of,
Intensive Care,
Cardiac.’
Happy Triple Bypass Day.
