As She Lay Dying
I sat by the bedside of a dying one,
and feeling her heart, I wrote a poem
about what I felt was her last words.
I spoke to a friend about to divorce,
and feeling his pain, I wrote...

New BloodShe heralds the new day
Soon the gates would open
She’d be free

The guards bade her farewell
