Home care
One woman bends
straps the blood pressure cuff
on the other who rolls her eyes
tries to relax
One woman dabs gauze
sprays wound wash
the other wonders
if the next fall will be her last
She's had this thought six times before
or more, the other listens, concludes
the blood pressue is still too high
Doc will tweak the meds,
but no answers today
They both smile.
