Registering change
The
dawn… anticipated
the
dusk…dreaded
by
the figure
strapped
to
a catheter
on
a steel rod
eyes
drugged but
alive
to
the change in the variation
and
colour of the
day-light
registering
subtly---
each
alteration of the rhythm
of
the passage of time
from
someplace in the void.

ReplyDeleteHeartfelt, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Sunil. There are some very stark images here – catheter, drugged eyes. I suspect this was a hard poem to write. Those strong images transported me to the bedside of a seriously ill patient – a situation I have been in recently. Powerful writing! Thank you for sharing. David
