Sit.
Waiting, worried faces,
The hum of fluorescent lights.
What time is it?
Time to keep sitting.
Hopefully just visiting.
Not a single clock in sight
Time doesn’t matter
Not in times like this.
Sit…….
Think….
Too much for now..
I need a drink……
People come and go
Off to another department
Test,
Test,
Test…..
Worried,
Waiting,
Confused…..
Breathe in…..Breathe out…..
Try not to think about……….it-
IT- THIS THAT THE OTHER!
The other…..
Called name
Share worried gaze.
Walk past people
Indifferent face
Taken to another place
Waiting,
Now alone…
I want to be home….
Snuggle in bed….
No need for negative news…
Wait,
Wait,
Wait…..
