not awake
maybe alive
voices proclaim
he's alive breathing
can you move your legs?
i cannot see but move my legs.
excited voices loudly proclaim
he moved his legs can we move him?
Doc's voice whispers into my right ear,
I know you can hear me so open your eyes.
i mutter, i can hear a ninnyhammer
whispering
into my good ear but i cannot seem to open my
eyes.
Sylvia's sweet voice wends into my
consciousness,
you just take it easy while we do all the
work.
i ask silently,  am i buried in the
cavern?
the light at the end of the tunnel dims
Doc's voice is debonair and says,
slide this board beneath him
but be careful of his ribs
and the pain bogarts
itself from neck
to scrotum.

Pain is superficial, and therefore fear is.
The torments of martyrdoms are probably most keenly felt by the
by-standers.
