Vigil.

Updated
1 min read

At 11 in the pm

He rings back

“Hello”,

“How is it?” she asks

(Sighs) “It's bad.”

“How many did you treat today?”

“only 2” his lips hung

For only the day had not

She said,

‘This will all be alright’?

‘When are you coming back’?

A testament to his insistence

& if, maybe her vigil had a purpose

Gulping back her tears, she says

‘it will be okay, even if it won't

The line disconnects

& he walks back to the care unit,

Frightened, but hopeful.
