Va Worker Night Shift

in the hospitals white walled memory many stories are placed drawn and sewn in stories of healing and pain tears of birth and death whispers in the ear with medicine under the tongue but all are blanketed in the silence of the walls white continence or is it black no one can see in another persons heart when all the beaded rosaries have been counted and all the saints candles lie in wax on the floor there is nothing left but for the janitor to mop up.
