I would like to add that I have tremendous respect for the doctors, nurses, and aides who cared for my mother during her stay at both the assisted living facility and the nursing home. While tasked with extremely sensitive and difficult chores, they showed my mother kindness and managed her care to the degree that it was possible for them.

Icebergs in Paradise

Saint James Triad

One bare leg audaciously

draped over a cool metal frame,

a naked foot dangling, a sensuous

arm curled round a straight line,

women whose lives were utterly

unknowable, connections impossible,

without memory, each one had

her bronze eyes eternally cast

toward indifference and the

artificial world from which

their physical boundaries

were formed.
