MARION SIMS, THE DOCTOR

He, having matriculated from the Carolinas,

brand new wife, two patients dead from

something wild he could not wrestle down.

Opens a hospital in Montgomery,

the doors bore his name.

Amidst the sawmill sun-downs

the timber gang negroes, dust-bitten,

hungry.

But he is a doctor.

A man who keeps with science.

He will go church-ward toward the plantation.

He will see about the bleeding.

The slave girl who was torn up

by her own son.

The stink of shit and sweat

The county was famous for,

The hoof and wheel tracks marrying

Under his unhurried shoes.
