We talk about her darling, how she took of the like kind perfect care of him after his rap And when the cancer came, it was BLACK, she says, and then it was WHITE. What?! What do you mean? It was BLACK, it was cancer, it was terrible, but he did not know to be afraid, and then it took him mercifully, it was WHITE. Mom I say. Could I say something and you not acquire mad? Yes . .

My voice is friendly, I say It's like some of the things the kids number me, "Mom, nobody says that any more."

And then, They are things I would not, have learned, if he, had lived, but I cannot, be glad, he died, -and then the whole of quiet crying, as if I have draw near near a clearing, where a spirit of mourning is bathing herself, and singing.
