"HELLO..... DAVID"
Hello, David--my name is Dusty.
I'm your night nurse.
I will
stay with you.
I will check your vitals
every 15 minutes.
I will document
inevitability.
I will hang more blood
and give you something
for your pain.
I will stay with you
and I will
touch your face
|

Yes, of course,
I will write your mother
and tell her you were brave.
I will write your mother
and tell her how much you loved her.
I will write your mother
and tell her to give your bratty
kid sister
a big kiss and hug.
What I will not tell her
is that you were wasted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I will stay with you
and I will hold your hand.
I will stay with you
and watch your life
flow
through my fingers
into my soul.
I will stay with you
until you stay with me.

Goodbye, David---my name is Dusty.
I'm the last person
you will see.
I'm the last person
you
will touch.
I'm the last person
who will love you
|

So long, David--my name is Dusty.
David--who will give me something
for my pain?
