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!

(All is well – just can’t get “hospital” out of my head)

Doan like 'em either.  Make me sick

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

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