Walking halls a hospital ward, children
Wheelchairs, halo bound, medicinal
Sterile, affectatious smiles, still children
Walking the floor a child’s own room
Cradling a fevered, soft, downy head
Nighttime closing in a child’s own room
Walking halls, rooms, a childhood home
Arranging pillows, blankets, a father’s bed
Listening to gentle snoring sounds a father
