Waiting To See

waiting to see                              
   
                              A small lump near my left ear

                                      What if it’s cancer?

                                            Will he stay?



Received 8th place in "Quinzaine" contest

What did you find out about this lump, dear? I have to tell you, it wasn't until this second time I read your poem that it dawned on me, "he" must be your husband. It is strange to me you would even have to ask that. I was thinking you were referring to the cancer itself as the "he" I am so dense sometimes. Congrats on your win!

yes. the dermatologist thought it might be an irregular mole, but wasn't sure, so he sent it off to be biopsied.
