Harry died a month ago,
and I didn’t know
until today
upon reading the alert
about his archived chart.I didn’t cry, though,
just a moment of woe
before chaos erupted,
and the clinic began,
patients struggling in, wan.And so Harry will follow
where all the others go –
to memories,
that nebulous space
without nights or days.

Covers so much ground in just a few verses. Clever work. I like the wisdom that closes the piece,
‘that nebulous space
without nights or days.’

Thanks, Lita!
Btw, I’m really liking your posts on physick gardens. Very interesting! Have you ever read The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane (by Katherine Howe)? Physick gardens remind me of it, and I really really liked the book. 🙂
