....

last night...
i did chest compressions on his chest...
his sunken chest...with broken ribs...
i looked into his dry glazed eyes....
i felt the coolness of his skin....
i heard them call it...
i helped make him presentable to his family...
...they were in the waiting room...

...i was the one who closed his eyes...

...at first they wouldn't stay shut...

...i had to hold them for a moment...
