Pedicle Screws
Pedicle screws, tulip heads
A titanium garden
Buried inside me
Knowledge and Passion
Knowledge and passion
Masterfully intertwine
With the doctor’s hands
Venessa Lee-Estevez has been an educator for Miami-Dade County Public Schools for over 21 years. Much of her poetry is inspired by physical pain as she has had surgery for scoliosis, lumbar fusion, and sacroiliac fusion. Writing poetry has been extremely theraputic for Venessa throughout her life and she hopes that her poetry resonates with the people who read her pieces and share similar experiences.
