Dim light
outside the hospital,
a misty dawn,
the smell of linoleum and disinfectant,
stretchers carrying
frail bodies toward the ICU.
Wait…
Wait…
Wait…
Eight in the morning,
the chapel open since 1886,
and I
inside the building,
a spectator
among uniforms,
among sickness,
among spotless walls
and the anxiety
of being left behind.
