In the next paragraph,
she’s already dead.
Something is missing.
That’s not how life works.
You need to set it up so
we can understand it,
see it coming. You are
making mental leaps
we can’t make with you;
we are just people, and
we need more help
than that. There can’t be
such gaps, like a black sea
between icecaps, silence
bleeding like memories
between cells.
