Tribute:
For Judy, betrayed at last by balance

You showed up and never shut up:
A face and voice for the many who
...Lacked your strong stomach for suffering
Through our endless meetings, slowing
Our chatter with your famous lead-in
“But What About….”.

What about those locked-up, left-behind
Under-represented, unheard, unseen
Friends of yours (whether you’d met them or not)?
You waved their flag and asked their questions
On councils, commissions, committees, from coast-to-coast

But never lost your cool, your smile a familiar sight
Despite the effort, which you would not let us see,
To keep it there, to remind us we could share
Your strength and courage because
You had enough for all of us.
