Storming the Rock

My mom has surgery this afternoon, a hysterectomy, to remove cancer. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you!

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”        Mark 5:34

STORMING THE ROCK

such lonely life in the dumplings,
clingstone as a cancerous mass —
robotic fingers
like a precise hurricane
must excise, smooth out, set straight

From wikipedia: Clingstone is a house built in 1905, perched atop a small, rocky island in an island group called "The Dumplings" in Narragansett Bay, near Jamestown, Rhode Island. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clingstone

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/16/2020 3:36:00 PM Outstanding one, Kim. My prayers for your mom. What a strange coincidence. My mom went in for surgery yesterday too. It turns out she had a minor heart attack (making her choke at home) but the angiogram(whatever they call it) could find no blockage. My mom is around 88. She has been so healthy up to the last few years. It sure is scary to think how frail they get at that age. Login to Reply
