<3 to <3 My mom and her twin
Still in surgery, doctor sleeps.
Blood red eyes, twin keeps
vigil, exhausted and wide awake.
Revelation under plastic — my heartbreak!
Remember my heart stops beating,
when your conversation stops breathing.
I wring my arthritic hands.
Hourglass - I beg more sand!
Denied my kin and friend,
A perpetual kiss I send.
