Crystal Bowl Breaks

shards of crystal sever small artery blood
spurts on white surface as I scream
scream loud for help scream in pain
left hand struggles with the phone cord
who to call need stitches help me
loose car keys take farm truck out
down the wet dark country road driving
left hand to doctor's office lights on
feel blood pumping into cloth is red
injection freezes pain away in few minutes
Watch as doctor carefully inspects deep wound
tendon severed will I play guitar again
four stitches later artery still oozes
another stitch bleeding stops pain returns
the moment before this accident I raged
second finger right hand anger finger say
hold your tongue now keep finger safe
instant karma sees red blood splash everywhere
