The Abyss at the End of Life
by Jerry Ratch
When I hear her voice
Repeating over and over
Will you help me?
Will you help me?

Have you seen Rose and Fanny?
She asks
They died 30 years ago, dear
Oh
Will you help me?
Over and over
Will you help me?
I get very, very sad

I wonder who feels more helpless, the narrator or the aged woman. I like how it feels; there's comfort in it because she isn't alone.
Lots of emotion lurking in these lines.*
Thank you, Sally!
Thanks, Gary!
