Brief Hospital Stay

i hate people in sterile places

its unnerving

to see them leached of colour,

needles in their skin

like punctured paper

And prodded by white coats , trying to find an answer

Can’t they see the problem?

fake flowers do nothing to lessen the paint of pale walls

sinking into her eyes

Jaz, this really brings home the starkness and impersonal-ness of a hospital stay.
