Abstract

L. Deborah Humphreys Sr. M. Speranza Curry think I’m deaf as well as but I hear old, They more than I’d like hear them to, sneaking out the here. down the from stairs, door, away believe that I won’t are know They really they round and about the me house, tending charges, ignoring but I do. I reflect on this poor neglected body: stiffened with and legs, unbending age weight, and veiled. eyes becoming cloudy are as as before: My ears, only my ears, sharp the kid in the last row the class of cracking gum when I had 70, the conversations with Mother sister superior’s when I was her and now secretary, of &dquo;out of of mind.&dquo; these wordless slights sight/out whenever But with this come bell, they I need them. To never visit, though, they stay. No bell can hold them until the loneliness goes. Deborah L. is Care Dominican Sisters Worker, Humphreys Primary New York. Bronx, Family Life Program,
