Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Vivid memory
Twenty-five years past
Her hands
Old, blotched, tired
Gripped the sheet metal
Chair below her

White knuckles
Held her fast
Unmoving, denying
Unwilling
To stand
Walk ten feet
Say goodbye
Her daughter
Youngest of seven
Gone before her

We waited
Silently
In pain, like her
Aunt, Daughter,
Sister, mother, friend
Pain no more
For her

Too soon
For us
Staring, waiting
Open sore
Frozen time
Clenched jaw
White knuckles
