❦
I remain
wrapped in white
for a long time
before the siren
stops
and Moonlight Sonata
plays instead.
The white warmth
lingers
even as I feel
cool air
brush my face
where my own breath
has collected.
I blink the sudden brightness,
disoriented.
❦
I'm in the main hall.
Sitting down.
In my armchair.
As always.
The other patients
are in their armchairs too—
it's medicine time.
There's no light
outside the window—
evening medicine time then.
I don't remember
time ever passing
this fast.
Why is there
something strange
about this sudden
calm?
Instinctively,
I look for Tammie in her armchair.
She's knocking her heels gently
against the footrest,
smiling apologetically
in my direction.
My gaze
lands on Krishna near her
and she's also
looking at me
with a knowing smirk,
as if she's saying
You won't tell anyone.
