On the slab, slightly warm, she lay
in preparation for corrective procedures
to be performed on body [spouse donated]
with surgical steel instruments
as ice chests waited for donations.
A cut down the abdomen, awakened
senses and stirred the muse.
Limbs twitched, lifeless now lively
but doctor did not notice
or pretended ignorance.
Anesthesia wore off while he continued
to open wide her chest cavity, collecting
what he needed to take out;
placed pieces of her 'past' on ice.
He hummed and stared into her windows
with a grotesque grin underneath
the surgeons mask.
Winked in support of slavery
under his command.
She could hear him speak of how and why
muffled between machine speech
of morbid suckling sounds.
Lights flickered before blackness blinded
when both hazel gems were handed
into hands of associate.
Stitches put on hold after heart disconnected
and wrapped carefully in sanitized cellophane.
Last minute, lips plant kiss
on the cheek with chilled affections
before steel doors are breached.
Rubber condolences cried into tissue
while his wife's body baked
rotisserie style within his brick furnace.
