Golden eyes open, unseeing But I know She knows it’s me. I lift the blanket quickly Soft legs uncovered Yet covered Blood thinner bruises. Last night was a fever night I don’t know why. Endless labs only offer more questions. Her veins resist, refuse. I only wish for more answers; Sweet girl deserves them all.
