as a cough, a light cough,
then larger,
then blood was involved
and fatigue.
i could see the drops
and drips
of red on his collar,
the front of his shirt,
his sleeve.
so i took him to the ER.
he was
nearly penniless
and homeless.
they asked me who i was.
pushing
pen and papers in front of me.
just a friend,
i said.
staring at him
on the gurney.
i'm just dropping him off.
