I can't Imagine


The smell of anti-bacterial,
the squeak of shoes on the clinical floor,
trying to swallow nothing.

The clenching of the chest,
his lips in slow motion silently break the news,
she's not going to make it.

The inability to cry, not yet.
the encroaching vacuum of colour,
you must remember how to breathe.

I am so fortunate.
