Hospital Ward Musings
with the newborn,
the dying and the dead,
joyful scream and
grieving shrieks
swirl about,
new lives flowing in,
spent lives ebbing out.
much to be grateful
for births and rebirths,
laser-sharp knives, pain
and dread for death,
with each gasping for
the first or last breath.
Dried leaves whirl away,
green sprouts sway,
shrouds of forgetting,
vague rememberings
at the seamless rim
of ends and beginnings!
