April 25th
Kyrielle
To be together sixty years
their share of joy and sometimes tears
declining health in their old age
life now is like a gilded cage
carers now visit through the day
their visits short, they cannot stay
tasks to complete for weekly wage
life now is like a gilded cage
together still but time goes slow
their private lives a public show
locked in the system, silent rage
life now is like a gilded cage.
