Hospital air without any cares
bounces up/down, forward and back,
off walls to floor of no pleasantries
until into love’s first birthing place
it nestles quite comfortably.

There’s a forcing on me to endure
this pure yet devoid of passion
supposedly uplifting air
while willing the sun, the rivers, the trees,
to heal and appease a body confined.

Sometimes a smile makes it worthwhile
but nothing can silence hasty footsteps
dishing up plates of humiliation
and injecting demeaning looks
of “so, you don’t like it - so what!”

And there to stay would be a nightmare
of never ending prick/probe/prods
ill directed in their quest
to reach the heart of the matter.

Keep me away; mind listen today
to the voice of my destiny
that wills and decrees a desertion
before the greed of hospital days
lays claim to my last living breath!

Hi, Interloper and LeeJ - just one of those necessary evils, I guess. Thanks for the read.
