Ninety-nine enjoys a bit of sun, Installed upon the terrace in her chair. Nestled in her heavy woolen coat, Extra-heavy scarf tucked round her throat, The tiny figure relishes the air, Yielding to a moment come undone.   Now she cannot feel the current run; Inside, the heart holds still, just barely there. Nothingness and being become one Even as the end remains remote.
