	LAST QUARTER

     			
			He lies by my side
			Sleeping in the sun
			Patterns and light glide
			Over him softly   One
			Eye flickers then
			He is still.

			I am mending, tending
			 The broken roots and stems
			So wishing I weren't rending
			This gentlest of ends
			Deeply I cry.

					Holly
