How do I get past the request?
How do I buy into hope?
How do I feel gratitude ?
for this person still being
on this planet for another moment
while the memory of this request
that came many times in a day
for several weeks?
I screamed
"NO!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"YOU CAN'T ASK THAT OF ME!"
I hear the request less
now than I did,
but I still hear it.
How do I let go of this
when it visits me,
How do I stop hearing this,
Stop knowing this?
