On the 29th of Sept 2017
a miracle happened:
She was calm collected
unusually quiet and would
not moan about pain in her
feet
mistreated since she was
a child
who suffered when she was
dead quiet.
Together we move goods
from SAM’s market
with a stop at Lidl
where I buy some natural
still water
to prepare chlorine free
coffee.
On foot we proceed to the
bus stop at Weidling station
miss the noon bus and sit
still for another 30 minutes
on a bench
but fortunately in the warming
sun.
I greet her
place my arm around her
shoulders.
She feels fragile
a shadow of her once
striking beauty.
What’s with you today?
she asks astonished
holding my shoulder and
kissing me hello?
It’s a good day
filled with sunshine
I say.
