Rushing to the hospital.
Suddenly everything turns to black.
Wake up to my father frantically shaking me awake.
I passed out from all the pain.
Wouldn't it have been more interesting if I had died?
Friday
Kidney infection.
Runs in the family.
Stay in the hospital for a few days.
No one even calls.
Saturday
Phone won't stop ringing.
Can't sleep, not hungry.
No food means no nutrients.
Getting worse.
Wish I had some company.
Sunday
EKG flatlines.
Nurses rush in within 10 minutes.
Record time since I've been there.
Disappointed faces when it is realized that the monitor just slipped.

Only here can I find you
on mute mornings of poetry,
where words unsaid
suspend, up end,

I decode the wind.
The world has never been so loud
