Narcan

T.Katherine Fabish 1966 (Virginia)



She was here-
sitting right here,one minute
Then almost gone.
She slumped and fade to black.
Needed the NARCAN
To bring her back.
Stupid friend! Calling 911,
Putting the paramedics
On the run.
     For What?
Not a Not or Afterthought -
Served her right to die
Then come back.
Now She knows her
     Heaven's
black, black
