I could feel your phantom pain, and this line especially stuck me-
"lost to surgical steal long ago",
very imaginative, youre a lot stronger than you look sweet lady
...but one. Why "black and white"? Something a little more oblique would tie into the "phantomness"... maybe referring back to the preceding verse?
Still, a wonderful read.
a very nicely thought out and structured poem / some very vivid images / far superior to your second poem, i think
