born again from the rhythm.

she saved my life
I don't remember it, but she did
held my limp body in her arms as she
carried me down two flights of stairs
all ninety pounds of her
all double that of me

what happened after that?  did I walk into the hospital on my own?
did nurses come out and put me onto a stretcher,
like in the movies?

I woke up

even that is surprising to say, because I might not have
but I woke up
in a hospital bed, my first ever
psychologists asked me questions
interns, medical students were familiar with me when I had never met them
they knew what happened
I didn't

I'm sorry, and
thank you.
