the sea lay undisturbed--
for days, not a swallow
.
dark shadow of her former self
lay draped across the floor
.
night birds' clicks
beeps swishes hums
.
held to the bed with tubes
over an abyss of fear
.
happy Easter said the slight man cheerfully
then fretted, are you Christian?
she noticed she could not say no

For some reason this reminds me of my Mom's last days. Sad...
well, it could have been her last days too. Not this time though
