Bad News.

One day in May my life became
a city of veils,
closed off and unseen like
a year of fog.
I was in denial.

Could i restore my belief in my
lifes short career?
Learn to take away this howl
of bitter rage at my
healths inadequacies.
To maybe fufil a full life cycle of dependency.
I could only hope and pray.

My bloodline inheritance leaves
me with a furious love
building on a nightmare of weeks.
Fifty to save it
two to organise it"s end
a flickering flame that 
will finally snuff out
and put paid to all my ambitions,
my fatal end.

If only i could move out
of my mind.
Find a hung jury
that still has a return policy
on defective breasts.
Time given out for
good bevaviour,
to go on fostering
my independent spirit.

My thoughts inside implode..
though my standard eyes still gush.
A blessed release.
