A Hospitalisation Not Under The Sun
These children, 16 or younger, were flying
Down the stream of the hallway
On their backs.
An interesting first impression.
They were definitely crazy, but
I was too.
They brought me to the deserted place
Where I would sleep under deserted cloth, Of which I made each day,
Next to a deserted desk
With no drawers and no chair.
Just a blank off-white room
Later darkened
By the sheet over my
Head.
I know He's the Sun.
Always there,
Even when we cannot see Him.
He lives in my dad.
He speaks through my mom.
When I sat in the room so still,
I began to morph.
I became a waterfall
blocked by a concealed cave.
My head slipping,
Slipping away from me as I continue to stay.
I do show myself
To my new found friends, but my willingness to survive
starts to escape.
He kept me going.
I started to see through the black veil.
I noticed
I had to deal with
This.
My stupid, broken, butchered,
Yet faithful
Head.
