Her words almost emerged from the rain
And echoed in the droplets’ din on the soil,
‘How much and how much more? ’

Leisure strolls on her ground
Watching squirrels on tree bark
Before I turn homebound.

He breathes
In his little width of life,

When I see a jar of lemon pickle!

Back home though from hosp she is still far from fit

She drained of strength has to gather all her will.

The masked man would come to my window
but never crossed the grill to be inside
he seemed to fly while talking of tomorrow
what he spoke took me on a dark ride!
