MRI
ERIK BITTNER
[pdf]
I know what is there
Beautiful, Beautiful
my beautiful boy
they will find nothing.
Maybe
there are ashes.
I hold your face and gently blow
that will make you whole.
ERIK BITTNER is a retired cabinetmaker/teacher who has returned to writing full-time, the poem reflects on his experience with his then 5-year-old son undergoing an MRI.
