Aunt Louise lived only half on Earth, Unable quite to leave her prior home, Nestled in a dream, perhaps by birth, Though loved--ah, loved!--ultimately alone. Let her be a lesson in delight: Of cats and restaurants and small routines, Undaunted by the nearness of the night, Improvising much with meager means. She was for us an enigmatic face, Eloquent of innocence and grace.
