I’ve turned seventy-seven
The day she has an MRI
To assess possible
Damage to her brain
From perhaps a stroke.
There’s no point
Railing against inevitability.
Thirty years ago these
Intervening years
Seemed an eternity
And if we could live
This long, a paradise,
But I never thought the touch
Of her hand would grow this cold.
