Connection

By: Neil Khoury

Uncontrolled inflammation.

Refractory to medication.

Resect the bad parts.

Connect the good parts.

Anastomosis.

Just as people connect.

Constructive energies attracting.

Connection.

Of hearts, souls, minds.

Feelings shared after long, hard days.

Venting.

Just want to be heard.

Understanding.

Experiences validated.

Empathy.

Decisions rationalized.

Friendship.

Change the topic.

No more medicine.

So how’s life otherwise?
