Leukemia as Dream/Ritual.

00:00:05.350 --> 00:00:09.490 align:middle line:90%
It is night in my room.

00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:13.750 align:middle line:90%
The woman beside me is dying.

00:00:13.750 --> 00:00:17.680 align:middle line:84%
A small girl stands
at the foot of my bed.

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:22.690 align:middle line:84%
She is crying, and
carrying wine and a wafer.

00:00:22.690 --> 00:00:26.350 align:middle line:84%
Her name is the name I would
have given the daughter I

00:00:26.350 --> 00:00:29.770 align:middle line:90%
would have liked to have had.

00:00:29.770 --> 00:00:33.400 align:middle line:84%
She grieves for herself,
and not the woman.

00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:37.840 align:middle line:84%
She mourns the future
and not the past.

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.830 align:middle line:84%
She offers me her
small communion.

00:00:41.830 --> 00:00:45.940 align:middle line:84%
I roll the wafer and
wine on my tongue.

00:00:45.940 --> 00:00:49.270 align:middle line:90%
I accept my body.

00:00:49.270 --> 00:00:52.870 align:middle line:90%
I accept my blood.

00:00:52.870 --> 00:00:58.500 align:middle line:84%
Eat, she whispers,
drink and eat.
