Seeing misery makes me write

 

 

P1030323

 

 

(excerpt)

The bodies in the ER

death hath warmed over

uneven parcels in ashen wraps

smuggled from their lives

disposed in shelves by triage

ready for immodest auscultation

naked brood hanging

amidst a humid jungle of catheters

pendant nests expelling shrieks

of throbbing sleep deprivation

ambling the corners

which Dickens would have recognized
