The Ward Nurse Has A Wooden Leg
scuffs in the pearl white floor when she leaves the room, for empty hospital hallway memories, haze of sterile gloom like snails, the chronic men each slowly wear away, their minds left to trail behind them, their faces falling into decay the grey walls with snake green stripes always constricting them, the dim fluorescent flicker of the fate to...

Premium Member Trembling Dreams
I remember those moments So far from me now, the past echoes Defeated by the silence of my womb, The deafening silence breaking through Peaceful moments, gentle breathes, Serenity, sincerity, soothing… The longed for caress – softly stilling Cries from the remembered yearnings, The little ones who I never birthed, The beautiful I never touched I remember those moments, Shedding the darkest promptings, The past invading...

A polaroid, in my drawer, under the junk - a memory found. Wow, I miss fun, it's like there was another life - a past life shared. Remember parties? Sweaty dancing then a plunge in the cold lake? I feel like an old lady reliving childhood in sterile pics. Everything I thought my life would be is gone or on nebulous hold. We're learning a dull brand of patience -...

Sterile
Statuesque. Cradiling mortality. Watching drywall become constellations. ~ Blue bonnet fields taller than he's ever seen the wind makes them all dance ~ Sterile conversations Latex gloves snapping in unison Clapping for the waking dreamer "He's not out of the woods, yet" ~ Voices intermingled Rushed movements Erratic beeps. "Steady" Crimson trickles down his chest. The only feeling left. ~ Smiling faces- blurry, unfamiliar. "Rest now. We'll...

Church From Sin Was Sterile and More
Church From Sin Was Sterile Father Farrell found cat who had been feral, Along with church that from sin was sterile; Rules curve; Beer serve, So during sermon priest rolled out a barrel. James Thesarious Hilarious Horn Another attempt resulted in anxiety, And will run throughout our society; In big wave, To my grave, And I am perturbed by his piety. Jim Horn Intensity of Propensity for Sensitivity With...

Premium Member Sterile Knot of Desire
The canopy was beaming beneath radiant stars, as whirling wedding night dances swirled round and round the garden … But her husband crippled, his manhood puerile, Fate untied their sterile knot of desire. The world seemed to shrug; she felt herself scorned. Passersby avoided her eyes ... Was it she'd been abandoned, deficient found? Or...

Premium Member Behind Those Heavy Doors the Sterile Corridors
Cradled in her loving arms, Swaddled in his cotton cloth, Still Born. Her piercing cries split through the air, Thundering, Echoing, Behind those heavy doors, the sterile corridors. Deafening silence He bowed his head in disbelief, Father, Shaking like a leaf, A lump, A sore throat, A whipping of the heart. She took the baby close to her, Peaceful, Final, Sleep, “Breathe, little one” “Wake...

Sterile Sermons
An old church stands with a spired steeple Amidst the townspeople at Fox and Main Where the hypocrites pray for sinful souls And clergy holds sermons that entertain. Within this sanctuary lined with pews And opalescent glass and glittering gold Odoriferous breaths of morning booze Betray inebriants among the fold. The Sunday sermon lectures temperance Its message they heard many times before The spoken words...
