Best Leukemia Poems

Feeding
Operations
Spinal taps
Bone marrows
Saving lives
Parents crying
Children dying
Clinging to life

Wishful thinking
Prolonged results
Death is eminent
Praying in pause
Attached to machines
To stay alive
Battling for time
Gasping for breath
Inhaling oxygen
Keeping you stable
With positive thinking
To ease the pain
Only for so long
Until it strikes back again
Fighting to survive
Through another day
Never giving up

Your money paid for our breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

Come, You
by Rainer Maria Rilke

Come, you—the last one I acknowledge; return—
incurable pain searing this physical mesh.

This wood that long resisted your embrace
now nourishes you; I...

Taking my blood and twisting ugly 
Mutations into unfathomable letters,
Indecipherable Latin words,
No longer my lifeblood
But an enemy who...

I lost hope for my country, my state, my town
A black dog followed me, I was weighed down by care
Saw a neon tiger in the dark, at day a spectral mare.

Offenders crossing our border worsened my blues
In the city,...

MY DONOR DAUGHTER

It was easier to give you life than
To take it back from you.
Both were unknowns.
     I mean,
You could have been anyone.

You could have been someone
Unwilling to understand -
     Unable to withstand - the 
Profundity of...
