Morsels

My soul is immortal but not my body

That is a poor design but better than an immortal body and mortal soul

We will die to make room for others.

Very charitable I say!

Last hour of light

The fading hour of daylight has arrived

At 4;pm we start the endless night

That bloody catheter

The carer kept knocking on the

catheter which hurts (she was wàshing me)

When I winced she said

You had better get used to it. It will always hurt

But she was wrong.It depends on the carer

This lack

An icy hand has gripped me by throat

I am filled anguish as I choke

Whose cold hand is this,and why attack

From the Guardian

My very breath, my living with this lack
