As vrea sa iti pot oferi mai multa asistenta practica/I wish I could help you more

The suffering of others
has never been easy to bear
& friend, in this sullen hour I hope
the exchange rate for my words might
be analgesia
a slightly dulling, a mild deadening of that which afflicts you
today, and other days,
there is nothing I can do but listen
there is nothing I can do but inspirit hope
I hope these palliative words find currency
exchange them, barter hard, and rest for a while.
