Hospital Voices

 


Black bars like leopard’s teeth
entomb hope,
on a lab coat hook.
Shadows are thrown into tomorrow
for a scrap of bread, a cup of
pure water, a narrow tunnel to trickle
through walls and rat holes.
A voice calls from a dark hallway,
“cancer
terminal.”
The air breathes hospital white;
the paint becomes a tiger,
poised to pounce on a frightened flame.
