Waste of a Wise Woman

Sweet emotions in her head
they don't have names yet
Undiscovered fears race through her arteries
Nearly forgotten stories clot in her brain.
For a minute each drawn breath is louder than the last,
Each blink pulls her eyelids farther apart.
For ten minutes each breath shutters, fainter than the last,
And her eyes are closed gently, still rolling.
For her sons and daughters from the corners of the world,
a wind changes.
As the white zipper covers her lips, her nose, and her forehead,
Her chest is open wide, leaking.
Nameless feelings, unknown phobias, long-lost memories spew out invisibly, to the wide-open sores of naivity
On the faces of the children that survived her.
A simple stroke,
Naturally killed, so,
What a waste of a wise wise woman.
