Junior Nurse
One moment, one death,
The interchange of
Life is too much for
Her.
This hospital bed,
This death-bed is all,
The beginning and end
Of
Another case, all poised
For the next thing to
Pass, for the next
Entry.
The tea boy comes and
Goes, sees all that she
Sees, life starting and
Ending.
She watches the ward
Closely, the nurses
And doctors, visitors
All,
She scans it clean,
She searches for truth
For cleanliness, for
Life.
As life must exist
Solely within these walls,
Transparent though they
Seem.
And all seems to move
Precociously as
All else beyond them -
Transposed.
