A fragile intersection between remembrance and survival Cancer
A piece reflecting the silent walk through grief's dark woods undertaken by the unfortunate many.
Including me.
If you have too, sending blessings.
Title.
Cancer.
(A lone voice whispers)
I thought of you all today, and all those funny, small, engaging things you used to do or say
Before life, and all its dark, biblical,
cosmic leviathan energy,
Got in the way
of us embracing happiness, lost in its stillness,
While introducing us
to a new Battle of Midway.
