Popular Poems About Cancer

I wish I had known you better.
I wish I could say I tried.
But I – buried under small bodies
 and schedules and needs,
  with just enough distance between us to be
   inconvenient –
And you – for so long obscured from my view,
  with my lifelong tormentor between us --
I just thought we’d have more time.
 
Eclipsed by his tortured shadow
  of bluster and opinions and judgement,
she tossed out colourful sparkles
  of beauty and care into our family,
touching us all with a thoughtfulness
  much deeper than...

my wee brother
died today

a cheeky rogue
since he could talk

a tornado causing
argument then gone

we cunt destroyed my vinyl records
give them hell up there

i'li miss you
