with flowers in hand

hospitals are hard.

all that dying. sick people.
the clean
floors

the glimmer of lights.

everyone in white,
or blue
or green.

the smell of alcohol,
chlorine.
a scalpel 
catches your eye,

holding your reflection for
just a second
as you pass by.

flowers in hand.

but you go to say farewell.
or
go

to get things right.
in time

we all pull up for a stay,
a visit,

or a long night.
