Last Days
God help me
she cried out
severe pain
from the stomach to the head
I heard her from the next room
and wept
not so quietly
God help me
she cried out again
she can see flowers blooming
the hibiscus is in full color
roses and bougainvillas
are blossoming like there's no tomorrow
I go to comfort her
her eyes are closed
teeth beside her in a jar of water
I prayed
then walked away
receiving the answer
one week later.
