Expanded on some twitter micropoetry, expressing the experience of working in a dingy nursing home.
The Home
Florid sacks
Of fluid
We slosh around all these
Ghosts burning in our guts;
We give them
Names
Dribbling, moaning
They fester their last hour
Slumped, twitching
Against the dusty blue dusk
Of a tiled hall
Hugging their jumbled
Cold gray bones
We close our eyes
