The Last Lullaby

How are you doing,
Mentally,
Caring for COVID patients?

The response in my head,
A letter,
Never read:

Mr. L,

I didn’t want to learn the dosages of Ivermectin
Outside of intended use.
Your telehealth provider makes me see red.

Your ventilator amplified
The Last Lullaby.

You loved many.
They watch over you.

Extubated.
Cold.
