rage
cancer
they said the lesions proved
so I decided to
"rage
against the dying
of the light" *
climb mountains
swim rivers
pedal dirt roads
until...
...it went away
or never was...
...nevertheless
since then
when I forget
stumble
or fall
or just sense life dimming
I remind myself
to rage
* "Do not go gentle into that good night" -Dylan Thomas
