“It is difficult

to get the news from poems

yet men die miserably every day

for lack

of what is found there.”

― William Carlos Williams, Asphodel, That Greeny Flower & Other Love Poems

Just now I wish to say

in a meaningful way,

something

I think of all I've got

and all that I am not,

yearning.

I'm tired and awake

comfortable, and I ache

breathing

And then G-d sends me news

His angels bring me cues

healing
