to her bedside
he moved quickly with feet
practiced in propelling
his wheelchair
he’d heard his wife’s moaning
growing increasingly agitated
and hurried to her bedside
to comfort and assure her

--or did she? at that stage
near the end of life, how can
one be sure? if there was a chance
of her knowing his love
he wanted to be there with
gentle words and touch
