I know nothing of Dilaudid
Except the PCA pump while
Laboring to give my dead child
And in the fall the sun scatters
Sideways through the trees losing leaves
At suppertime on a slow run
Running is what I have to do
To carry me through the days of
This current administration
The chronic ask for it by name
Chased fast by IV Phenergan
Its not right to give it like that
I don't know the stories and it
Only takes a second to lose
Your light on a cold day today
I quit when I went back to school
Charging down a different path
After the remnants of the crash
All that did was make me angry
So I'm chasing that light scattered
Across the freshly oiled road
This was written after reading a loving obituary written by a sister of a young lady who lost her life to opioid addiction. I had just finished instructing first semester nursing students on a clinical day and planned to do some reading for graduate studies after checking my emails, but I received a very disappointing email, and decided to run instead.
