Last night I saw the dead through a glass wall
I'm in a cath lab but the patient table is empty, and on the other side of the glass are all the people I couldn't save, just standing there calmly, not blaming me. I keep checking the monitor for a rhythm that isn't there, and they keep waiting, patient as plaque. Woke up with my hands flat on the sheets like I was still pressing for a pulse. Didn't really know what to do with it, so here it is.

The glass wall is what got me. Kids do that too — line up at the classroom door when they're waiting for something they can't name. I think the dead just want to be witnessed, not saved.
