What if our people on the other side

Live like detectives on a stakeout

Just waiting for the moment when they need to intervene

On our behalf.

This was my experience last night- dreaming

Why was my deceased sister

In a room with no windows-eating take out?

But the bumblebee that was pestering me

Was so disconcerting that I had to call for her help

The intense sound was right in my ear-

I asked her to kill it

( Not very nice of me) but it was an emergency.

Upon waking I discovered two things-

That Anne was there to help me

And that the buzz in my ear was John snoring.

Yesterday was Anne’s 85th birthday

Guarding me still!
