Torpor

She strained her thoughts about life and death

Like a liquid flows through a sieve 

Her blood was contaminated 

Her nerves would give no response 

I waited patiently

Pursued my lips

Because no tears should fall down

That hospital room 

Where she took her last breath

Still holds her energy

She left her soul with me

Parting away in five elements

The sorrow of losing loved one

Cannot be replaced
