juju man
(for Orville Nelson & Howard Daly)
By Fabian M. Thomas
he heals
seeing subcutaneously
seizing sickness
reaching remedies
connected umbilically
medicine passing
through the cords
that are his fingers
his anointed hands
kneading flesh
massaging muscles
with homemade herbs
to alleviate ailment
mint oil
proportioned precisely
for each person patient
he walks
onto wards
looking inward
offering solace
soul-solutions
affirming renewal
as he heals
