Chemo, Puberty & the Fourth Watch by Patrick Cornwall Wake up—rush for the toilet, say my prayers. Stomach races, chasing bowels, anxious like horses shot from a gate. Chemo, the man said. Takes time to get used to. And I’ll ring you. I take a shower. Just trying to rinse the sick away. Ready for the day. The sun leads me out— then gas...

Rum got to his feet and said, “Let’s go play in the street.” Raisin said, “I’m up for that; some fresh air would be neat.” They were soon outside and heard a sound… FLAP FLAP… THUD… TWEET What a shock it was to find a young bird at their feet A scruffy ball of feathers that could clearly not...

In the temple of silence, where the past awaits to be rewritten, I wrap my longing in the mantle of night, searching for the lost ring of destiny, That sacred symbol, forged in the shadow of agate forests, Its color, a gateway to the depths where green meets the night. I dared to...

I’m sorry… I’m not perfect, Yet you expect me to be. I mess up. I make mistakes. But I don’t care. I’m sorry you hate me For how much I have changed. It’s a direct result Of the consequences of your actions. The repercussions of the pain you’ve caused me. Also, I lied. I do care. Sorry I let you get to me. I never uttered my...

Ascension I walked on the vast plateau the everlasting wind of time had blown away, the sand exposed millions of skeletons and the memory of man wench the brain was walnut-sized.

Grief Passages Rewritten Shards of shame lay splintered in unresolved pieces ~ Bits of crystal if only intentions not repairable Minutes of I wish regret unreachable, not revived ~ Lifeless echoes sighing with no resuscitation In a whirlwind tornados uproot shallow graves ~ Screams at the unknowable why unanswered Yeah but excuses expletives and bargains with denial ~ Blank...

Oh God, expand my narrow, cluttered, room! And clear the clutter out, so I may see! And still my Seas, as You did, Galilee! Life threatens to collapse in, with a Boom! Like Aspen, that arise after a fire, Or ground-cover that sprouts from ash and dust Or sweet alyssum permeates the must About the room, through window of desire, So, pray I,...

I was always told as a child I had a lucky face. A bone structure that resembled somebody famous. ‘There’s something about you kid, you’re different,’ they said. ‘I don’t know what it is but you’re different.’ I was force fed this ******** Until it oozed out of me from every pore.

Call it gathering of the herds, or.... the others...

In early morning light I wheel myself outdoors. The vibrating air lively with small dancing aphids. In distance near, that booming sound of crashing waves against the sand, waves with their perpetual wish to walk the shore. Waves, so powerful, so strong yet so dumb, a caged animal wanting to escape. I want to escape...

To climb a mountain, but I ran out of steam Sat down on a boulder to wait for the team To learn to ski, but that did not go well Cracked my tail bone when down I fell To learn to dance, in my youth t’was grand Now with bad feet I am lucky to stand Think I'll make a new...

No more gleam, no more shine, not once Once I rolled the production line Llnes busted and broken, no more sublime Sublime when rolling the production line Line producing joy and glee Glee in the past, no one loves me, no No one loves me, each day I pine Pine for the days of the production line Line when I was neat and...

I measured my words carefully Sweet verses I wanted you to drink To help you escape your misery A new beginning awash in pink Tears in your eyes, I watched you blink A slight smile a knowing look I witnessed how your shoulders shook Your sadness was breaking away Rewritten pages in your book Colored words a brand new day Inspired by Dr. Ram Mehta...
