Visiting Donald- Arbour Hospital, 2008

The light wasn’t as harsh as I thought it would be
It came from one source in the almost square room
and didn’t reflect off of the pastel colored walls.
It should have been brighter, but maybe they were using it
as a calmant– something to help us understand why
Why he didn’t want to see us. Its not like the drive was long

But still. It would have been nice if we could have
seen his face. The nurse said he was “adamant”.
I guess she wasn’t lying because he never came out.
My grandma and my mom just sat there whispering
about some girl who was my age, and how people go crazy.
I didn’t say anything, just sat there wondering about the light.
