121

That morning I got up
And found him fallen on
The floor in the passage.
I half woke him and I
Tried to get him up but
Still did not have the
Strength to. But he came
Awake and shuddered to
His feet and leant on me
And I led him to his bed.
Is it morning? It looks
Light.
Almost. Just sleep.
Will you shut the door.
It's broken. Just put it to.
His eyes seemed about to
Spill out of his ashen face.
He looked at me as if from
Beyond a threshold. Just
Put it to and let me sleep.
