companion:
your radiopacity probes our shortcomings;
can explain speech loss,
may also – heavy hearted –
delineate an apple core of cancer.

Not for firework green or luminous pigment,
nor as the taste of
Harrogate water,
but in alimentary suspension –
that is how you are recalled:
the white pawn of diagnosis.
