the patient

was aged like the stars

she gestured with her hands

her eyes adjusted to time

surveying her last hours

what nature of healer are you ?

no magician and no cure can I produce save death

it solves all need to fake salves of hope

yet yields a sweet sleep in good time

for us both lady

for us both

she wagged her crooked finger at him and said in failed whispers

now do not lie to me do you hear ?

do not lie to me
