It is such a cold bed
upon which I lie,
such a cold foundation
(lies)

Voices mutter
yet I am mute
stripped
(lying)
exposed.
The slamming of a door
startles
yet I am rigid.

Willingly
I offer
vitals
expertly excised
and examined.

Yet I lie
(lie?)
wide eyed,
expectant.

Coldly catalogued
disspassionately
Dissected.

Yet I lie
(lie?)
uncovered.
Wide eyed,
The light blinds.

The testing
completed
they move on.
Heartlessly
providing
no covering
no offer of warmth.

Expectantly
yet I lie
Still.
