Worse Than Any Disease

|| 2 feet from the mud 
on 6 inch heels breathing 
difficult words while screaming 
it's all for real
like kissing touching 
the weeping burning sun
hugging frail entrails 
--while shivering like
bleeding soldiers and 
we're all within a living 
hell /together my billion 
soul brothers and sisters\
there are some remedies
worse than any disease
my withering hands hold
your face as i offer
an invitation for 
memory loss ; 
you receive ||
