Strong, Max - I would leave out the line with the name of the disease - does not seem required.

She is in the hospice,
while he goes to and fro;
her sweet voice taken from her,
along with much else,
by motor neurone disease.
Still on their answer-phone
that voice, recorded long since,
recites her ‘mobile’ number,
‘in case of urgency’. Once,
I recall, she played Desdemona
for an audience of students,
and now I seem to hear her still,
pleading gently against
the wrongness of the dark.
