MY FRIEND


My friend Dixie Anna.


There are those unexpected calls
so rational sounding, such a nice voice
in my ear, jolting me upright.
She fell, moving pictures around.

Who am I to write her obit,
younger than me.  She caretook
her Ken until he died, now
she is near death herself.

Sometimes a broken pelvis will 
Break more than bones,
Will dent and dement a wider
circle.  Already my heart breaks.

    Ohhh gosh... Mage. That is very worrisome. It's always painful to lose a friend. Is there no hope then?

      My daughter can't find her. DA's son hasn't called back. Yes, I worry.
