Sounds of a Death Fighter
Location
A raise in pitch,
A gasp of air,
air rushing through teeth,
its all a language of fighting
No complete translation
Only the exchange of pain in our eyes
The feeling of uselessness
echoed with the cries for her dead daughter
The sentences of not leaving the hospital
Still fighting to transcribe from fiction to truth
Moaning at night
The fight to stay awake
It all echoed
the fight against death
