H: Adrift

Adrift.

We're supposed to be sailing out of here.
Instead we visit you in Resuss.

And to a background of beeps and hissing gas,
you say 'Hello Mates' as if nothing has happened.

And for two days, whilst they fill you with Beta-Blockers,
we ferry Mum from home to hospital

and steer her through the nights
and her thoughts of how nearly it all came adrift.
