In Abyss

Rochelle Lynn Holt

She wants to die in peace in her own home.
Is that such ridiculous notion?
Forty years it was oasis

with blinds & drapes shut to keep out sun.
Maybe once she dwelled in abyss.
Did cave dweller eat with fingers or roam?

Is this where she suffered in bliss?
After hard job Mom returned to dark tomb
with pool in backyard, family, husband.

She struggled to plant in Death Valley loam.
All her life she was Sisyphus.
Now, she is betrayed by wheeling son.

She’s deprived of verbal caress,
transformed into invalid who stuns:
frail elder who once pushed the walker some...

But, sons have carnival show to run;
they won’t allow old woman under dome.
Greed is pure example of dis.*

She wants to die in peace in her own home.
Is that such ridiculous notion?
Forty years it was oasis.
