Tags: accident love hospital uncertainties of life

The ambulance cries for its way

among a curious and helpless traffic.

I sit beside her

my last night’s coquettish partner

now lies still and pale

as if in another empty time

with just no baggage.

In no time

strangers swarm into the ambulance

the hospital staff

whisk her away from me

I see her eyes fluttering for seconds

the impact of all that movements

do little else to her adamant repose.

There’s nothing a man can do here

but stand like a dazed fool

near the intensive care unit

medication or surgery

what do they care

What they do to her

my love and tomorrows shall always bear.
