The Alternative Hospital Poem by Sheena Blackhall

The Alternative Hospital



A drip dispensed mango and passion fruit juice
Marigolds bloomed in the sick bowl

Baby elephants acted as visitors' seats
Nurses played leap frog up the ward

Bed curtains were climbing clematis
The bedpan held tropical fish

Ballerinas worked in the theatre
Handling the surgeons swabs

The sheets were squares of meadow grass
Nobody ever died at three am.
