Standing on 35th and Vine,
I so remember the day.
Where ***** yellow sunshine lay exhausted
On muddied puddles of ocher
And the wind whispered in time with the 3:15,
I took A call from friend who had resigned
To end her life and mine
Holding a prayer between my teeth
I bequeathed,
My patience,
My peace,
My sanity,
To a silent line
That day on 35th and Vine
I so remember the day
