Dr Gabriel.........
Hospitals are so sterile......White walls .... hallways.. the smell of infections sour .... the quiet presence of death walking in the corridors.....leaving cold vapor hanging in the air......
He is scared .....his head bent , bones ache... he jerks his head to the side and finds a way to look up.....his pupils lifeless, no motion, looking at you......through an empty window... no recognition.....his head falls back.
Season of loss...... the horsemen are coming dressed in blacks of Apocalypse yielding their swords........I let the drape down.... light is cruel and there should be a moment for us to withdraw......... I here the elevator stops and the bell rings
he is crawling on the floor .......finding his way to the open door. and the vinyl corridor that goes forever in successions of florescent lights.....he is willing toward the elevator and I am thinking would he manage to push the button....
I took a picture of his ventilator, his feeding tube........ as the liquid dark beige moved up within ......I took a picture of all
the tubes and lights.....shiny red numbers going on and off......he was attached and breathing, his eyes closed . mouth gaped open face bones tortured deformed,,,,,, splayed on the bed motionless... I walk toward him, once next to him I rubbed my fingers against his bearded chin............
I think the machines took some of him, warm as he was ........ he has been debriefed and declassified....... ..........and I still wonder would he know which button to push once he crawled in the elevator.......
