Eloise Klein Healy

Level 3, Northridge Rehab

I don’t know words well enough

but it’s pretty busy to hear it,

then read, spelling one at a time.

 

No matter, I’m being helped

while I’m walking,

my balance isn’t teasing

or touching me, just laughing a little.

 

My waist is handled and guided

to where my own room has a window.

Don’t know everything

about where I lived before.
