            Bishop, Plath and Sexton

            All died young, while I am

            Keeping Susan past their 

            Ages, frail and weak

            Walking on my arm

            To a succession of medical

            Appointments against her will.

 

            I've noticed her reluctance:

            Always late, always slow to don

            Her shoes and jacket, cold

            In the car as I drive, but they

            One can see in their biographies

            Did not have someone

            Like me to need them.
