Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Fearing the Worst

escorted thru the fog
to a secluded room
down a long hall
off away from other rooms

every sign
foreboding
holding our breath
for a verdict bad or worse

hearts beating fearfully
trying to calm our minds
pretending for each other’s sake
we’re not concerned
we’re not alarmed

we try to find comfort
take a deep breath
life goes on
until it doesn’t
