dear doctor       i'm dying     i have a proposal resuscitate me please                     bring me back with ease   but over and over teasing feline with my death                              and i'll do my part over and over   bothering myself off the drop                            jousting toward the afterlife you tugging me back                                a firm grip on my Achilles keel resuscitate please                     re ***** me from my dips in the pools and  for my part  i'll bring back “the goods” i can rescratch your scriptures for you such wisdom and memories                 dip me in again and again and I can describe it all to you : how god feels ? i can prescribe you with first kisses furious details of value               as i regurgitate into life i can lax out the code                           for you to gurgitate on in study in spools of telegraphic ticker tape   to figure and stew on                              in your own beady time whilst                                     finally i wallow in my last deflate and then finally plop content   into the knowledge

the shallows
i put down the disinfectant rung liquid from a cloth she calls it anointing the floor she’s trying but even this close to death           she has no view on god and can’t science much afterlife cancer has ridden up her                              and surpassed her pelvis she just wants a view                                  thats not a hospital room a place where she feels okay       to receive final visits but no facility will take her                     till her doctors agree     upon her approximate end date i continue disinfecting her room whilst we discuss neat ideas about 'what happens next'

notes from cleaning palliative rm 30
within a coma of mouth   crept at by thieves       hooked away the woe-ing jewels of his teeth his face  loaved in upon the calcified essentials (soft claw  featured  like a boxing glove)    and the desert reclaims                                                           live mummification of the whole arresting body proclaimed a priest-ful stickman other realms visit this hospital bed mothering away gifts in honour bowing whilst backing   they withdraw                                          his vitality                                - peaceful veils

notes on room 33 palliative
respiring corridors    interior hospital night outside                 silenced                                   the winter away facing                        patient pacing     in palliative care for the age-ed out expiring      iterations of ejecting death        darkly dressed haggy wet breaths         beds engaged           berths of great ferment corridor ; raked in corridor ; ridden out squalling a patient who has yet to reach    the concluding condition of his fellows bellows    'Shut The **** Up' mad for sleep he's lost compassion The corridor labours on
