131. Wanting to Give

A first newspaper begins to pile up
Just below the foot
Of my passed-away neighbor's stairs
How many papers will be left there
I had picked those papers up for her
To make them easier for her to reach
I'm sad this small gesture
Will no longer be received

It's hard to quit caring, to quit taking care, when someone passes on. I lament your loss.
