Episode 240: Stoma Collection - Stoma Closure Chapter, Part 2

The nurse nods as she places the stethoscope on my lower abdomen
I want to listen to the sounds of my own intestines too

More natural than an artificial anus
The scar left behind from the stoma closure

Resembling a real anus, the stoma scar
Puckering its lips, one more is added

My belly is drawn with scars, the character for 'heart'
You've got the stroke order wrong

Right stoma, left drain, the radical for 'heart'
Passing through the center is the laparotomy scar

Skatole, hydrogen sulfide, and indole
Today, once again, how they smell

Sitting on a Western-style toilet to urinate
I am startled by the sound of my own flatulence

Sorting out gas and substance, now tremble
The nerves and muscles of the pelvic floor

Stool falling to the bottom of the Western-style toilet bowl
Breaking, shattering, splitting, and scattering

The tape marks from negative pressure wound therapy
The stoma scar and the shaved area are also itchy

Finally it comes out, not as diarrhea or soft stool
1.5 bananas worth

The heavy 'kondara' (roller), I will surely overcome the path of trials
Diarrhea, frequent stools, and fecal incontinence

Who do you think this person is?
The Shogun's deputy, the man with two anuses

Note: 'Kondara' is a poetic epithet for trials
