arriving with the stars
interrupting her ever so
brief solace
shook her from her
slumber and spoke
little lady
it is a cold night
a lonely night
but inside
it is not.
so please
strangle
my sorrow
she closes her eyes
ears
mouth
but the cancer
penetrates and with it
a sigh
a tear.
she knows
she cannot answer
no
only
yes.
i will help you
