Touch Someone You Love (poem)

A nun

She has a handful of darkness

She will die in a lonely

Bed—

All those she knows

Are still sleeping

She’s still awake, in prayer!

These strange words enter

Into my old bones.

I know I will not live

Forever,

All wrapped in flesh

Will fade like the clouds.

I have survived today

But no more than a blade

Of grass.

Thus, touch the hands of

Someone you love; or kiss

Their cheek for remembrance.
