treatments (water poem VI)

like thousands of others
I have this device under my skin
right under my collarbone
connected to my vein fanning out to entire body

for eight months
I’ve gone to have a needle stuck into the
round valve
through the skin

and bags of water turned into chemical
have dripped their shaded liquid
through my veins
to every part of my fragile flesh

and now it’s over
done
finished
vessels empty

for now

water of renewal has been poured

the device stays though
-------just in case
