Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma : a Gogyohka

days become short 
and carry cold promise
the curve of your breast
anchoring my memory
in sunshine

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
