head against a pillow.
Wires and tubes and things.
Nothing but bread,
leaning against a white wall.
Foreign static tumbling ear-ward from an overhead TV.
Cards on sheets,
making the feeling run away for a moment.
A run of four and a set of four.
This has happened,
the hospital bed.
Flowers alongside, and greeting cards and notes.
I want this to end,
the hospital bed.
I won't lie against the cold no more.
Does this mean that you were hospitalized???
ReplyDeleteA friend was in the hospital for a week. All is well now. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet! I am going to miss seeing your smiling face everyday. Seriously!
