For Sylvie - an old lady died....

An old lady died
quietly, at hospital
and was buried
that afternoon.

I never had a chance
to say goodbye,
never cried
but

I feel a pain
in my heart
unseen
by public eyes.

An old lady,
who never said
how ill
she'd really been

slid away
like a candle flame
blown out
by a gale

and swept,
like flotsam
to an ocean
of the dead.

She'd say
'I'm 86 you know
and everyone dies
of something"
