Coma Queen

She was lava lamp pliable
Easily moved and positioned
Flippy floppy appendages 

Ridiculously compliant
Rare signs of life
Loud breathing

Danger of falling
Bed sore bound
Six year coma

Caren, Sleeping Beauty? The images won't go away, but I like this write. I don't know why. I know I can count on you to stir the souls in the Soup. -Richard
