Across, eye to eye
Armchair, arm’s length
The heart suffers—pathologic
No monitors or stethoscope to be seen
“This is the end…”
Of the conversation, I wonder?
Or of much more than that
Gratitude in one’s eyes to have another’s ears
Yet humility casts its shadow:
“… and there’s nothing you can do to help.”
