A Miracle Happens Here is the title of the E.R. Christmas episode from 1995. I have been thinking about that TV show, and in particular that episode for some years. I think about the effect it had on me, of the hospital as a place where certain feelings are. I mean the ones that shouldn’t be there, but are. Like those watercolours of clowns and animals hanging in the corridors, or similar things.
I have made so much of what I can't do, don't want to do and why. Made so little of what I can, of these wants I have without knowing. Hidden my hand. Heart. What is still here after loss. The labour that carries shame is also where love is. It is what you do without being asked. Your cheek on mine after the operation. Everything.
Even through the change of the season I don’t see a reason / All you had to do was cry / I would have held you and asked you why / As the sun kissed the sky and lit up the leaves till they grabbed my eye / I couldn’t pass this day by and wonder why am I here not as a fly / To skit through the trees till I die.
