Day 25: Blood Donation

For those with Small Veins

Runaway vein
why must you escape their blunt probe?
Runaway vein
one would think you would restrain
fluidity to blood that flows
through all but but where it ought to go
Runaway vein.

(2014)

This is day 25 in my month long Rondelet marathon! I wrote this poem after my first time giving blood. It was a rough experience considering it took them nearly half an hour to find a vein and kept coming in dry .
