One Follows the Other

My heart is a bird

Beating hard to

Get out of my chest.

Out of this room

Where I lay on a

Cot shivering in an

Embarrassingly thin

Gown I can see my

Nipples through, down

The hall, out the door-

The doctor tells me

Severely that my heart

Is in danger of giving up

On me.

I think he is trying to scare me

But I feel hollow and I think

Maybe

I would be glad to go.
