In honor of a dear friend who starts radiation treatment tomorrow, here is an audio version of my poem Ink.
Notes:
During radiation therapy skin may be marked with permanent markers or pinpoint tattoos to facilitate the precise alignment of a patient’s body for treatment.
A surgeon may sign their initials, or another agreed upon mark, at the intended location of an incision. This is a safety protocol used to prevent wrong-site surgery.
