Reminiscence

A Poem by Han'ke

Based on patient interactions.

Do you understand what we are saying?

Do you know we are trying to help?

Restrained, you writhe like an animal.

With tears, your eyes accuse us.

Your skin pulled taught over protruding bones, deceives...

Your fighting will power battles for survival.

Terrified howls escape your lips.

Judge and jury

Why is your lot different from mine?
