Emergency

Somewhere there is a corner of history
Which is unheard
Silent, dusty, dark
Few may have gathered there
In desperate whispers of the emergency room
The routine we came to know
Where we they?
With their familial phrases
Their newly polished terms of endearment
Did they see you
Did they hold your hand?
Did they try
And fail?


The loss is mine, alone
Here in the long forgotten
Terrifying
Corner of history.
