All the places you’ve been you traveled so heavyAll I could say, I said when you told meAll I could think of was the immensity of suffering At once I understood it all, it could have perfectly been me 
Are you awake now? In the sun- blazed placeAir stung our eyes when we waited at the gateAnd across from the nurse you looked like a world, I Admired you, as you sat huge eyed And bone deep in sadness but Above all alive.
