severed retreat
heal dress st-
stupor wake
hold tight
'til bones
crack flee
her voice

undo his
sweet

cure keep
down solid
food

patience
shown and
fast held
mopped
daily
laundry, towels
one pile,
daily
sheets sink
back and

rather
not say


hospital bed,
it's a modern day skull (IF)

banal and
singularly
unaffecting
