Hospital: Strange Lights By Jean Valentine
I needed a friend but
I was in the other room
—not just the other room,
another frame
dragging blue
or brighter blue: strange lights:
The doctor singing from The Song of Songs
‘in the secret places of the stairs’
Us standing there in the past
as we were
in life
you turning and turning my coat buttons
