Megan left today
It was planned
At least for the past month or so
But a kind of hard parting
She took everything that would fit
In her car
And drove to Vicki’s
In San Mateo County
Mark and I pulled down the curtains
In the sun porch
That were blocking the view
On three sides
Now we can see
A yard full of brilliant green
Foliage
A few brown
Tree trunks
And magical sunshine!
I hope it works for Megan
She has been healing
But it’s a long journey
To reliable health
At least she won’t have to spend
Another hot summer
On the sun porch
With her face buried
In the flow of frigid air
From the air conditioner
We all expect
extreme weather
but some of us can take it
and some cannot
