Sylva's Thirteen Poetry Collections:

I:    Lance My Hart at a Glance


       She had written this collection for her husband, who had a difficult life 
       performing bypass operations on failed hearts during his early years 
       of cardiac surgery. She is praising surgical hands and the dedicated 
       lives of their families, the medical team, and the patients in distress.



        Lance my heart to feel your delicate lance. 
            Fancy absorbing pains, of your fatigued hands
                How many hearts you revived--survived. 
                    Your hands are respirators for failed fading hearts.
