The Rescue Rest
Stage One:
He rests in the Asclepeias, muscles calm
His ailment leaves him here.
Awaiting on the three Gods to cure his body
Asclepios and his daughters, Panacea and Hygeia,
Had not appeared...
Stage Two:
He rests in the Asclepeias, muscles calm
His breathing, light,
The temperature, chilled.
Asclepios and his daughters, Panacea and Hygeia,
Had not appeared...
Stage Three:
He rests in the Asclepeias, muscles calm
His body lay dormant.
The mind is silent.
Asclepios and his daughters, Panacea and Hygeia,
Had not appeared...
Stage Four:
He rests in the Asclepeias, muscles calm
His breathing delayed.
The sun shines, allowing blinding light through
Asclepios and his daughters, Panacea and Hygeia,
Had not appeared...
REM...
He rests in the Asclepeias, muscles cease
His memories decrease,
The light fades out.
Asclepios and his daughters, Panacea and Hygeia,
Had not appeared.
