A fragile intersection between remembrance and survival - Cancer.

 


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.
