The sound of nurses, 
Some with wings, 
Some thumped and banged,
Attentive, tuned, listening for the god,
The doctor, the savior,
The brisk clip of his footstep,
The bevy at his heels.
He did not look at me
But fussed around the bed,
That high altar where I lay 
In pain, waiting, waiting, for reports.
