Image for the poem The devil’s parlay

The devil’s parlay

Curtained in mist  
Are the eyes lain in mourning  
For the cancer  
that’s dancing  
through my body,  
uniformly  
 
Confirming the poison  
Within my own essence  
The writ of its language  
Is languid  
in presence  
 
The plague in my bones  
The rapturous moans  
The devil’s parlay  
Unnatural decay
