A Troubled Life Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

A troubled life


Her life has become
an agony of anxiety,
of death.
Her brother died
she think the knuckled hand
is touch her shoulder
is coming nearer.
Her shoulder twitches
she wills painfulness.
Another appointment
to a doctor
or a hospital
they cannot help her.
She has days
when overactive
she buying a car,
a Mercedes
she can not drive
a hip surgery saw to that
next day she is in pain
walking too long
her day is spent in bed.
He plans his escape
but has he got the faculty
to do so?
