The Free Clinic:
“He beholdeth all high things; he is a king over all the children of pride”-Job 41:34
“He is the chief of the ways of god; he who made him can make his sword to approach unto him”-Job 40:19
A television
Is showing rockets silent;
The Shadow in the oil painting
On the wall
Of the clinic
Has horses in it
And a sparkling river beside.
Some are sleeping
Through announcements.
Some are trying to hide it.
One lady holds her children
Like lost souls and
Another sets them
In a stranger’s lap.
Maybe she’ll come back.
