Sitting with the Dead - Margie S

Margie S. died today, called at 6:15 a.m.
Only 62, surrounded by no one.
A ward of the state since her son went to jail.
I read her prayers I don't believe
about a love I do believe.
And the staff,
about whom you would think the worst
if you saw them out on this street,
came to touch her and say good bye.
