God alone knows!

God alone knows!
The ghostly eeriness in the ICU ward
Competes with the palpitation of
the patient, longing for life,
‘No visitors allowed’ on the board
mocks and tilts on the painted walls,
God alone knows what she wants to confide
in the forbidden state, whom she wants to confide in,
'No visitors allowed ' board still mocks,
The nurse attaches ventilator
an accelerated process of detachment,
God alone knows what is her last sign
Or gesture or poly vocal utterance,
He only knows why no visitors
allowed In the ICU.
