To The Editor Who Asked For A Poem

                                                 © Henry Denander


Haven't you heard?  I moved to Utah and died.
No...no...I don't think I died
Well maybe I did die
I am not sure
Leaving for Arches tomorrow
If you still want poems
In five days
I will send
I will leave your
Face up
To remind me
Or maybe this
Is a poem
If you can tell
Use it
One never knows
Now days

pain and mistakes

I am recovering from this open surgery
I am recovering from this pain and mistakes
people make even at the cost of a life
to them we are just fucking numbers.

They almost got me by pushing insulin
when i never had a history of diabetics
and I started shouting when I realized.

Soon they stopped and got so angry that
they threw me out of the ICU.
I was lucky not to get into that
insulin-induced coma from which
many people could never return,
hanging midway like Artaud
during his last few months
between living and the dead.
