DEATH OF A THERAPIST

DEATH OF A THERAPIST (FOR JOAN)
“God in his mercy lend her grace”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The Lady of Shalot

Even the camel
eater of straw
Cannot always reach
the one on his back

If we had been able to see
if she had been able to ask

Who would not have taken
a handful
to add to their lighter task
