One look
and she knows
a spirit woman can
see another
there's no veil
just pathways of light
she tells me of
her friend
at 5:00 pm
an endoscopy
a tube and camera
to peer inside
it should detect
the source of the bleeding
pancreatic cancer
the only two words I say
Her steel blue eyes
look up from scanning
in wonder, in knowing
yes, it's probably that
The patient has no family
the clerk tells me
I will have to manage
the death by myself
just like that
we predicted the future
that was already
coming to pass
