Prayer for Healing Arrythmia
Pray while waiting
at the airport
under a defibrillator
in glass adorned
with the image of a heart
gashed by white lightning
like saint iconography,
glass-sheathed
intercession
for cardio patients
whose hearts will fly
ahead of scheduled flights.
Yes, beaten gold
sinoatrial butterfly
piezoelectric
bird of fibrillation
quivers phrygian
and mixolydian,
the broken music
of tachycardia
cured in joules. Atrial flutter
is not always dangerous
yet all cardiac seas shiver
in the last minute of life.
