She prays
For her soul
For her safe passage
She lies in her bed
She says she misses her twin sister
We say yes
And introduce ourselves
She prays
She asks about the weather
With a blank stare
She wonders if it’s cold
We say it’s hot
It’s summer
And we introduce ourselves
She says she feels like she’s covered in bugs
As she scratches her hands
She says she’s scared of bugs
She prays
We introduce ourselves
She tells us of her prayers
She tells us she misses her sister
She tells us she’s scared of bugs
She prays
She says she is ready to die

We don’t know what to say
