I reached the table

and

I almost collapsed onto them.

One held me steady

while another reprimanded me

for daring to get up.

"where's Maggie?"

and

"Where's Rick?"

They pointed to another tent

where I ventured

with the help of the man

that had kept me steady at the table.

I entered the tent

and

and image of Eliza

in a hospital bed

flashed through my mind.

and held her hand.

or a splint

or any visible wounds,

but that's not what she has,

the wounds she has

are the ones inside,

the ones

in the brain.
