The profound times
of our lives together
this is where I work
back and forth we pass
our wisdom, poetry, and love
staying lively in the nursing home
living our dying
those who will cry
sharing laughter
in these nows
facing quick arising crises
trying to hang on
to our humanity
times of healing with one another
when there will be no curing
these are our work and times
together
