Final days
symbolic characters,
bovine literally Bulimia Nervosa
Ibis=knowledge
Cleaning out the care room where a bovid woman received care while her organs turned against her the ibis nurse found the last journal entry from her patient on the dresser.
'I assure you, it's been nothing but painful.
Maybe it was worthwhile, I really don't think so-so much shit just to lead up to this. A lifetime of torment for a week ecstasy? Maybe I cannot say for sure. I only had to live 20 years before closure.
My emaciated frame shivering as the nurse removes lanugo with a straight razor,
A gossamer of a touch is needed or else blood under skin will pool.
The nurse's hand is so warm to pale,icy skin.
She speaks to me in kindness,kissing my acid worn mouth.
Maybe I just needed love and this was destiny's way of finding it for me.'
The nurse sighed and traced her feather tip around the sloppy,barely legible writing.
"She was so sweet..I absolutely hate that it had to come to this..."
mumbling the avian tore out the paper, staring heavy hearted before slipping the dead woman's note into her uniform's shirt pocket.
"We need to learn from the past..."
Fighting everything she had in her to not rush down to the hospital morgue tears bursted from her golden eyes. What was it about this patient that struck her so deeply?
After all she had seen countless patients with eating disorders. Surely it couldn't merely be finding the last artifact from the heifer's lonely life.
