4.24.2017
face on the pillow
cheeks marked
by the oxygen
line.
her eyes are down
barely open and
it scares
the hell out of
me
what happened to the
little girl, precious
diamond child,
at age forty three
years caught up.
you reach out
hug, kiss, wave
a hand across that
brow and say a
prayer for real.
really Father, God,
Blessed one, lay your
healing hands upon
this one.
whatever’s happened
help her to be whole
again.
