Battling Vicious Cells

She traces a litter of rising stars; while exploring a place blissful within-- or even feel a desire to extend a timeline where vicious crimson cells invade those mounds of chalice breasts, uninvited. And a once vibrant energy grows frenetic , nearly withering from the changed biopsy of a frame now boney, lightly skeletal from a hostile tumor raging within Reena’s veins. Yet, she crawls uphill , this woman warrior of a hiker… steadily focused on reaching the mound’s crest, undaunted by lumped pain as soft tears glitter upon those thinning cheeks. Grappling with a second -stage notice, her limbs wobble in exhaustion, her fingers cold at the same time eager: treading on, I watch my friend dressed in bald crown, facing this combat between towers of hope and despondency. My breath weeps inside. Reena smiles and blinks at me like an advancing star. Topic Of Cancer for Craig Cornish 6/20/2019
