Whispered voices adrift about the house
The little cousins all sent out to play
Adults ingathered at the kitchen table
Taking communion from the coffee ***
The hospice nurse is in and out and back
A subtle shake of her head – he’s still alive
In the back bedroom, gurgling to an end
Frail fingers twitching on the coverlet
An evening of grieving, darkening fast
Whispered voices adrift about the past
The little cousins all sent out to play
Adults ingathered at the kitchen table
Taking communion from the coffee ***
The hospice nurse is in and out and back
A subtle shake of her head – he’s still alive
In the back bedroom, gurgling to an end
Frail fingers twitching on the coverlet
An evening of grieving, darkening fast
Whispered voices adrift about the past
