"Pink Shirt" by Nancy Shaver He wore a pink shirt without a collar When he sailed into view Up the steps of the summer cottage. I didn't remember the color of his eyes Even after seeing him for weeks. His first words made me smile But I don't recall what he said exactly. We moved in together the next month. Forty one years later I see the pink shirt Although his hospital gown is blue He sleeps and shivers sometimes. I know the color of his eyes now And the pattern of his breathing Even after it stops.
