She was pretty good, he said, <br>because most women can't aim.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But last night, she said, Rufus was dreaming again<br>and he swung his arms like he was chopping <br>sugar cane in Louisiana before they moved North.<br>He caught her with an elbow to the eye <br>and another to the nose just as she was ducking.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Long ago, she'd stopped trying to wake him <br>because of the pistol under his pillow. <br>He had reached for it once after she had shaken him. <br>She screamed and that woke him up <br>and he wasn't too happy about it. <br>He said he couldn't sleep the rest of the night. <br>And he wasn't lying because she was awake all night, too, <br>listening to him grumble and curse.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">A week ago she had taken Rufus to a sleep clinic <br>where he had stayed overnight and the doctor said <br>he was suffering from sleep apnea. But she had never heard <br>of sleep apnea causing someone to thrash and kick like Rufus.<br>She sang with a lady in the choir at church<br>whose husband had sleep apnea<br>but all he ever did 'was snore too loud, ' <br>no thrashing about.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">'So that's how it happened, ' <br>Zenobia told Officer Murphy<br>who was very busy taking notes. <br>Rufus had reached under the pillow <br>for the pistol and she had to stop him.<br>No one else was around to help her. <br>'Two in the head, ' she said, <br>'and he be dead.'</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Donal+Mahoney">Donal Mahoney</a><div class=q>
