For Joanne

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

Since nothing lasts but constant change

be mindful still

that the few chances for stasis range,

except the pill

that ends all, from nought to zero

because body

so wants to be its own hero

never sorry

For trailing mind through witless pain

Defying hearts,

Clear that cold flesh will surely gain

Its own ramparts

Some defence of life it calls experience.

Stay with me, friend

Our pain will end.

We are always friends and will survive.
