the nurse will arrive soon
The Nurse is coming soon.
It is five in the morning, and the pain in bed
throws me out, I struggle with a Walker
to reach my study
by thinking of something else, the hurting
will, if not, go away and subside.
I will not be bitter when family members
fails us now, so shortly before Christmas
I have gone through many struggles, this
time as always, with my 82-year-old wife
Modern hospitals don't want people to
overstay. I will not complain about the surgery
saved me from a certain death
Mind, there are times when one is overcome by pain
Death seems inevitable
I sit in my study, grateful for life and waiting
for a nurse who will clean me up and give
me pain remedies
