Coughing up his soul

Coughing up his soul,
Our neighbor across the street.

Everyday,
A new piece lost. . .

An old one, never before published. We were living in Oakland. A man in the building across the street was very sick, by the sound of it. We never actually saw him, but every day we would hear his terrible cough. Then one day we didn't.

Oh dear, I can hear this! Very 'visual' even though one only hears the cough. A good one, Richard.
