her

she knows

the moment she enters the room

the nurses buzz

a hand rests on her shoulder

moving her away

she is filled with a numb grief

as the sheets are stripped

memories wadded into a ball

a moment suspended in time

margaret with her loving voice

margaret with her strength

margaret with her reassurance that things would get better

margaret with her husband long gone

margaret now gone

the tears fill the cracks in the void left behind

she will live on

a life lost

a life blooming inside of her now

she will be strong.
