Carousel
December 28, 2010
The whirring lights
Softly highlight angels
As they connect needles
To limp arms and sturdy tubes
He really doesn’t want her to lose
Her ongoing fight with life and death
But each tiny breath
Drifts them farther apart
Every sigh seems to welcome the dark
And the only sounds
Come from the prayers in the air
Drifting around, and around
Them, circling them in
Like some carousel, bearing down
Showing the white sheets
What could have been
