mother made it to the bus


mother made it to the bus and to her little place
nestled among the other little places
by the malls of framingham
she can't live alone for long
she has one close neighbor
who helped her shop
but he is moving to be with family
we have offered same
i called ahead for victor to meet her
and help her to the cab
the cab cost a lot
boston to framingham
she is trapped half blind
three floors
sore bones
we may all end up there
so we offer to share
our little home in willow vale
build some extension
a bed and bath
and hope it does not go too far
we all know how hard it could be
but to depend on the kindness
of professional staff
for the end of one's days
a haze of medications
it does not ring true
so we'll explore what we could do
and do what we must do
