Fulfillment Glimpsed from a Distance

Any good knife will offer
To help the wound. A good knife
Knows it's a scalpel and knows
Injuries are surgeries
Intended to heal the world.
Yes, even the best scalpel
Needs help, needs sponges, stitches,

Well applied anesthetics,
Nurses, surgeons, and so forth.
Nonetheless, a clean scalpel
Is essential to unveil
Malign or disconnected
Tissue to suture, excise,
Singing, I am needed here.
