A Knock At The Door

Tom Deiker

We rushed him to the hospital
Delirious and drenched in sweat.
He came back powdered and pajama’d,
Tearful from the attention:

Draped on the Lazy Boy,
A thinned and pliant body
Stilled by exhaustion and gravity,
Eyes glazed, face pallid, mouth agape

-- Like the corpse he soon would be.
