Blankets of Doubt

Ovarian, Breast, Pancreatic, or Lung… 
there’s a look that is shared the same

And staring straight into the eyes of time,
all promises gone and reclaimed

Each moment borrowed and leased from your fear,
 the walls crashing one by one

Tonight no longer a sleep guaranteed
—under blankets of doubt unsung

In our heads
Are graveyards
Many

Everyday we visit
Every night
We weep

We remember
The one that
Kept us up 
Pushing fluids

The other
The car crash
His entrails 
Hanging out

The young dad 
Bike vs curb
One early dawn
Liver minced

The pancreatic
With cancer
All yellow
All dead

The new baby
Floppy like slinky
No sound
No hope

The breast lady
Besmirched
Figuratively
We failed her

We stay up
Like tonight
Secretly
Crying

Why?
