“It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.”

― William Carlos Williams, Asphodel, That Greeny Flower & Other Love Poems

Sometimes I wish to say
in a meaningful way,
something

I think of all I've got
and all that I am not,
yearning

I'm tired and awake
comfortable, and I ache
breathing

And then G-d sends me news
His angel brings me cues
healing
