Quote
Your dying was a difficult enterprise.First, petty things took up your energies,The small but clustering duties of the sick, Irritant as the cough’s dry rhetoric.Those hours of waiting for pills, shot, X-ray Or test (while you read novels two a day) Already with a kind of clumsy stealthDistanced you from the habits of your health.

I feel her presence in the common day, In that slow dark that widens every eye.She moves as water moves, and comes to me,Stayed by what was, and pulled by what would be.
