Ambulance Dispatched To A Nursing Home - A Ghostly Account

that call, a face
    porcelain 
pressed against glass
and dead eyes wrought
from an attic room
    watching us

her name badge was
irrelevant
  “No, those top rooms
  are not used, full
  of junk and all locked up”
yet the face watched us
leave; into 
  the further ghosts
    of night
