coughing at night
other breathing at night
people tend
droning to sleep
quietly
nurses’
footsteps
low light faces
the television
an adventure
of dark blue glass
constant
quiet breath engine
in their beds
three or four
calmed
safe
people
moving that’s the thing
I want to hear
people
X-ray photos of the soul
lonely
speak to me with dark tongues
lone
night
yawning
