constancy

hospital
a huge mountain between my
heart and tongue
ill-starred
not important
rubbish
brought here and left
a mountain
if I could pray
prayers would move me

***

Fellows in the Firmament!
it is up to you to get right
down to you, getting better
(***
certainly is
***)
to be helpful with those helping you
determination will make a difference
to be very patient
is a difficult art
you’re not born such
constantly
learning
you get old
as the northern star.
