Walking out of the hospital The sun is setting The car park fallen quiet Empty slots Hollow spaces All of this Out here Still working like clockwork Back there The doors slide close On an alternate universe Which runs on trolley wheels And worried faces IV drips Loose sheets on tight clipboards Tighter lips held […]
It isn’t as bad as we think And it isn’t as good either Catastrophising The head can be a dark place Full of terrors that we install there Fearful thoughts Foreboding Eye opening anxiety that pounds the heart against the ribs And leaves us Sleepless A few days later Things are better Much better Cheerful […]
