i am / touch ing the floor of in sanity
& you are turn ing white again /
face / eyes / your skin
thin white skin / you
blend in with this december nite
& i am in grief / a pre conceived notion
last spot devotion
ah / & these words look odd again to me
she says / no it wasn't a stroke
it's brain cancer / / he's getting confused
body an explosion of / muscles gone a stray
he couldn't remember
what he was talk ing about
@ all
& this bird thinks / / i'm the symptoms
brain refuses to remember any more
i can't remember / gaps
perhaps it's only tired ness
you are / so brave my dear
just deny death / /
you’ve been near there before
i wish i coul hold you to gether
wrap a band aid around your crown
/ & say / / it's gonna
be okay / just fine / just right / right as rain
i've never felt closer to death than i do right now
some thing about getting old / body breaks down
failure to for get / remember / how organic we really are
cancer / reminds me of mildew in the garden
leaf rot / spreads / covers the leaves
in brown / black spots / back to the ground
what cancer cells do / they travel
no meaning
& the words lose all mean ing
fine fine
carry on
every thing is
fine fine
eyes pinned from the morphine
kills the
yes we know what it is - name thee: pain
yes we know what it is - name thee: can sir
god damn it
& the body breaks again - -
