He came back home.
In an ambulance, with a signal… as always…
Paramedics blocked the staircase with the stretchers completely.
The neighbours waited patiently and with curiosity.
He came back different – smelling of hospital,
gloomy, distrustful, betrayed and sleepy.
He has traces of ICU all over his body:
four red electrode marks on his little arm,
purple blood spot in his groins,
a chafe on his wrist left by a plastic number…
