By your bedside by A.R. Williams

You lay in the hospital bed 
with breath heavy as iron,

a face frozen like a retired
pocket watch, and limbs

as numb as the prayers
uttered at your side.



A.R. Williams is a poet from Virginia, USA, and has been published in Anti-Heroin Chic, Briefly Zine, Fevers of the Mind, Ink, Sweat & Tears, among many others. He is also the editor of East Ridge Review and can be found on twitter @andrewraywill.
