I wasn't there, but I imagine that she was quiet, absorbing the image of her lovies strewn across the room in restless slumber. Even if she had the strength to speak, she chose not to disturb them just to meet her needs and desires. She stared out the window until she wasn't sure if she'd been dozing or straight staring all along. She felt frightened and brave all at once, a certain sense of resignation rising up her heart. She felt her body slowing, yielding to a place of peace, warmth, and light. She glimpsed a fawn wandering in the garden outside her window. A weak smile crept across her beautiful face as she said hello just before she said goodbye.
