Cancer
February 18, 2015
It’s fierce lips
will brand me with kisses of poison
all through my feeble entity
until every of my organs
are as lifeless as the rusty white monitor
that beeps,
beeps,
beeps alongside me,
reassuring my beloveds
that cancer’s fierce lips
have not yet bared
their final poison kiss.
