Coming Back from Her Stroke
: Coming Back, Thursday 2024 by Bill Schott

 
Waking at four a.m. again --
 
three and a half hours of 
 
bi-pap slumber.
 
 
I tried for five hours --
 
to satisfy insurance requirements for
 
assisted sleep.
 
 
Now I wait for the trash truck --
 
three and a half hours 'til 
 
I see you in the hospital --
on your bi-pap machine,
sleeping or staring,
through those 
hazel
eyes.
