First and Last Days (A Little Prayer, revised, new title)

[TranquillityBase]

Hi TqB,

while you're revisiting, just a thought

to angels who glance

and turn away –

sometimes with pity,

sometimes with surprise

– my eyes signal

that I’m still here.

(If  not a poem in itself, then certainly the end of one? )

Best, Knot

Knot,

Thanks for revisiting.  It would make a fine ending had I not galloped off in another direction.  Anyway, I've tweaked the original to follow my first inspiration, which was the night sweats, a miserable visitation brought on, I'm told, by a medication.

I think this version, overwritten as it is, says what I set out to describe in the first place.
