Medicine As Art, Prose, And Poetry @steadyhandsbleedingheart - Tumblr Blog

Anyway, now I’m on this path that feels like it should be rickety and winding and impossibly tall, and everyone tells me I’m crazy and I’m rushing, but I can’t help rushing because it feels like I’m breathing again after a long dive underwater, like I forgot the precise feeling of heady summer air, or the crisp cold of a mountain top, that feeling that would be pain, if it wasn’t crafted so finely.

It’s completely ridiculous because I spent two years hiding from medicine because I was so scared of slipping and ruining lives but those two years I spent obsessed with the fig tree, convinced I was gorging myself while actually eating the fallen fruit from the ground and telling myself the soil gave it flavor. I think I was too scared to pick from the tree. Hurting, plucking, taking.

Fig trees bleed.

The sap is milky white but it sticks and dries and seals the inevitable wounds

Rivulets streak down the soft body of the fruit and drip from the emptied branches

The soil-picking fig-gatherer says the tree is crying out for its loss, as if the tree never bled for the rotting, sickly-sweet fruit she gathers in her muddy hands

Separating yourself from the fall, the bleed, the tears feels like saving both of you, but the fruit falls and the fruit grows back whether you grab for it or not
