X-ray
Some of us can answer no
to most of those questions.
Nevertheless, we know
what lies ahead.
My mum's demise began
with a fall that led
to a stay in hospital.
Then home. Then another fall etc.
But have I had a fall? No,
not recently.
I fell out of a tree a childhood ago.
I've slipped on ice. Tripped on the stairs.
And, I recall, I fell
for you.
Which is how come I'm here now,
accompanying you
at this precise time, on this particular day,
as we wait for a nurse
to speak your name and take you away
for an X-ray.
