It's the
clearest thing I remember
Being near death
Fever of
108
for
a week
and my
Mom
and
Dad
there knowing
so very little
of death
and me
feeling
strangely
like I knew
everything
about it
and the
Elders came
and laid
hands on
fevered Scarlet
forehead
and
the
knowing
is what keeps
me
comfort
now
That I must
do good
for I have
no
other
choice.
