Sliding Toward Light / Dying is Fine My Friend / Bone, Like Snow or Starfish
Abstract
No one to catch the weight
falling from the height of the table,
falling from the dark womb
of the lady with no eyes.
No one to catch the weight

About the Journal
Ars Medica is one of Canada’s first health humanities journals. Launched in 2004, we transitioned in 2014 to a web-only format. Ars Medica provides an online venue for dialogue, meaning-making, and the representation of experiences of the body, health, wellness, and encounters within the medical system. Content includes narratives from patients and health care workers, including fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art. We also include sections on writing by and about children, international health, and other voices routinely silenced in the healthcare system.
