Sykehus
The old hospital in the town center
stark and unpainted
Dotted about in the near vicinity
Funeral homes look like pearls
around an elderly lady's neck
at every election cycle the promise
was to build a new Krankenhause
in a rural environment and there
were pamphlets showing how great
it will be, but, perhaps next time
when a gothic movie was made
the hospital was used as a backdrop
As it stands there is not much to do
doctors chat with nurses, because
the ailing prefer a hospital in another
town, the old place is more like
a hospice, where the old are sent
waiting for death, their relatives
think it is unseemly to let them die
at home, not good for the children
Zen
Neglect is
the biggest
disease
