f**k you cancer
Why in the fuck
did you think
you could take him from me?
Do you know who the fuck you are up against?
I am all you wish you could destroy, but lives
He is more than what I am
He is the air I breathe
He is my soul
He is my heartbeat
He is the smile on our teens lips
He is the blood of life that keeps me alive
Hes made me everything I wanted to be
He loves me
Hes always loved me...
So, cancer FUCK YOU
You cant have him
NO. FUCKING. WAY.
Hes Mine
Ill fight for him
Come for me
Im...

Sister, removed
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...

Chemical State of Mind
I don’t work, I don’t fuck only eat and rarely shit
That’s why this year I’m on my third selfish-ass bitch,
“The life I live they truly hate it
Now grandma’s giving me an enema, because I’m constipated,
“The chemo for the cancer is eating me alive
Couldn’t make it to the bathroom now shit is running down my thighs,
“Embarrassed and words of comfort-I don’t want to hear it
Because my soul is hurt, sprinkled with a shattered spirit,
“Soiled clothes on the floor, shitty rag in the sink
Asshole naked on the toilet as I start to think, ...

Hymn to the Crone
When Cally died aged 33
of cancer, leaving behind
a Husband, 2 young lads
and an ocean of emptiness
I asked big questions
what it really means
as we float around space
on a cosmic bowling ball
if it means anything at all
inbetween paying bills
and taxes. How a world
can spin, seemingly
out of control.
I see those lads sometimes,
their little faces gleaming
through Facebook pictures,
Hubbie’s arm around
someone new
how well they look
after...

Scars
Breast Cancer Scars Are Body Modification That Saves a Life
No amount
of scarring
can erase
the beauty
and substance
of you.
Who you are
remains
unchanged.
Your essential nature
is as beautiful
and wholesome
as on the day
of creation.
And my hands
never get tired
of tracing the fullness
that is your soul.

The Poor Guy Placed The Rose
The
poor guy
placed the rose
on where his wife
had finally died from cancer.
