a brother’s early morning visit to emerg
where a palsy was discovered and a file
notation made re: freakishly large muscles
and brisketbreath (in this case induced by
stress over prodigal son’s death)
sister with hearts-a-klupnisht yiddish for: heart
that races in face of uncontrollable grief here
broken-heart syndrome *see harvard medical
review: chest pain palpitations shortness of
breath
when i was 14 my burly big bro carried me to the
car +transported me to local hospital for atypical
strep now at 62 atypical arrhythmia over his death
i have 2 brothers left and i am right to ponder the
words of my friend with a suicided brother he said:
just pray you +your brothers die on the same day
i now know why and i am ready to make numerous deals
with numerous devils so we can all get outta here more
or less alive
