Blood Clot

Blood Clot 血栓
Yong Wan Choi 08.17.08
A small clot of blood in the ankle
travels up the veins into the upper body
if it lodges in the brain, a stroke
in the heart, a heart attack
in the lungs, a pulmonary infarction
a healthy life
snuffed out like a flame in an instant
the clot outwits the wisdom of great physicians
even today's medicine cannot find its way
