x-rays
The ghostly images X-Ray machines burn into film are
deceptive
Anatomically accurate as they are,
their report fails
Everything is one dimensional
It all looks so light, buoyant, wispy
Even healthy bone appears brittle and hallow
Other organs, too.
The dense and massive liver is but a feathery cloud
Only the heart is depicted accurately:
fragile.
