Narcan/Resurrection
On a window in the church basement where the
NA meeting meets is an
advertisement for resurrection:
Narcan training/tomorrow/please register
all of these Lazaruses, in bedrooms and bathrooms,
waiting for their designated samaritians.
The briefly dead are
empty of
stories.
There are no tunnels of
white light, no voices
saying it isn’t time to leave.
They come back, instead, as
necromancers, carrying drug limbo
inside of them: Cut back. Take more.
One day,
your samaritan
will leave you
wherever
they found you.
Not everyone learns the tricks of resurrection.
Poets Resist is published by Glass Poetry Press.
