The Hospital
The quiet surrounds you
Except for the occasional
Beep,beep,beep
Or
Rustle,rustle,rustle
Or
Hiss,hiss,hiss
Or
Cough,cough,cough
These are the sounds
Of the hospital
The machine that monitors vitals
Beep,beep,beep
The nurses checking charts
Rustle,rustle,rustle
The oxygen, helping someone breathe
Hiss,hiss,hiss
The patient trying to get better
Cough,cough,cough
But under these sounds
There is a quieter one
Scratch,scratch,scratch
It is the sound
Of a lonley poet
Her pen on paper
