well

well
I’m back
not from leaving Frodo off
to sail to a healing land
but
from hospital
where I got some new parts replacing
olf and tired
and need rest themselves
like me
from time to time

no Mordor
but
the operating room
where they were helpful
introducing
themselves and telling me what
they
were doing

then I feel asleep
dreamed
dreams
then woke up no longer there
in dreams or in
the O.R.
either
