Defibrillation by Clair Wright
Applications invited
From would-be resurrectionists
Who aspire
To restart hesitant hearts,
Shock shuddering souls back from the brink,
Defeat death with a single jolt.
Applications invited
From rising revivalists
Who seek
To galvanise passers-by
Harness the hope in healing hands
Train the tender touch of a thousand volts.
Applications invited
From eager opportunists
To make daring deals with death
Backed by whip-rounds and raffles
For the power of life in a lightning bolt.
Inspired by an article
in the Huddersfield Examiner 12th January 2016 about grants for to
install defibrillators in village communities.
Fantastic, entertaining poem, Clair.
