The Encounter
Two nurses appear silhouetted on the hill.
They shake hands.
Itâs a pleasure to meet you, says Clara Barton.
Likewise, says Florence Nightingale.
There is a pause. They speak at once, then laugh.
It was hard to find the time to get away,
says Florence Nightingale.
I feel guilty already, says Clara Barton, with all
those wounded men waiting in the hospital.
A rabbit is chewing up the stalks of clover nearby.
There is the downward flash of a bird and both animals
are lifted into sky. No one flinches.
Do you believe in God? asks Florence Nightingale.
Yes, says Clara Barton.
Does everything happen for a reason?
No. Some human actions are senseless.
The two start their descent down the hill,
holding their skirts up out of the mud.
Another rabbit slowly leaves its burrow.
Are you married? asks Clara Barton.
No.
Me neither. Would you like to come over for dinner?
