Just Another Shift (Revised)
Just Another Shift
My patient is
Draped with blankets
His Lhasa Apso dog
is keeping vigil
The daughter leans over
Rests against her father
She gets up, gets a sponge,
To wet his lips.
I see a short burst of light,
A sparkle
My aging eyes, trick me
Creaky retinas, slow pupils,
But why did the only spark grace the man's gentle brow
Why is it hard not to believe
In something
