the eyes above the mask look up
watching what he will do
the newly qualified junior doctor
and leader of the crew
the patient scared but trusting
breathing is a fight
so he's pumping in more oxygen
not knowing if wrong or right
he wished there was some evidence
that would give a lead
maybe some breakthrough article in the lancet
he's too exhausted to read
no cure insight or a vaccine that works
His instinct are a guide
speaking assertively with confidence
that self doubt and panic hide
shift end, alone without his family
the comfort of his heart
for their health, safety, and security
he must remain apart
