Through the white halls the ghosts slip; crossing past plastic chairs, hissing sharp sibilants. Sterile stares, superstitious and blue, for the sick and the pale's mid-death prayers won't come true. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ First draft: Through the white halls the ghosts are slipping crossing past plastic chairs, hissing sharp sibilants and relishing off the shivering goose-bumps; the superstitious prayers of the sick, mid-death. |

I do not like hospitals, the sterile smell in the air reminds me of memories I’d rather not remember. At the same time I can’t really remember, I mean, those are not things that I can clearly see, but more of fractures of pieces of memories, a short glimpse of a sight, a curtain, a face, a moment. I’d always figured that maybe the halls are packed with ghosts, short memory ghosts, shells of humanity scratching at the fabric of reality. 24.6.09 - Edit: Changed the tempo/rhythm to a more fixed structure based on syllables. I wonder what feelings does the two versions bring up, tell me what you thought and felt, what you liked and why. Thanks. |
