A Neighbour Loved
The weight is falling
off her
and I am scared ..
She is,
after all, a survivor
of cancer ..
Yet she still wants
to dance
like she did in her
teens
and get this ..
Today her smile
remains
just as infectious
as it did
back then too ..
Sometimes,
I feel like yelling
her name
from across
the road and into
her garden,
then telling her
in whispers ..
Oh’ my love on my
word, I swear
I do still adore thee ..
