Working..., a haibun by Antonio Mangiameli

I was called for a consultation in an intensive care unit, I visit the patient, prescribe tests and say I‘ll return tomorrow to re-evaluate. I'll come back if the patient is still here.

A memory, a haibun by Antonio Mangiameli

I open Facebook as  I usually do every evening after dinner. This time, along with the ads related to my job and interests, I see one that surprises me for today. It reminds me of a gift I gave 10 years ago.
