Poetry
(a cancer patient's story)
I'll not paddle on a sea
Nor touch my feet on a shore
Nor carve a mountain
Nor scan a forest without
A word in the air
For your curious ears
I'll not lay a critic eye
On a director's latest fruit
Nor pass a night...
Without breathing a word
Of tenderness in me
To your sleeping form
I'll not shed a tear
Nor moan in pain
Nor sigh for the
Short-sheeted time
What I cannot spill
With my choosing mouth
I'll blot with ink
And the paper can
Speak for me
It's the only way
I can ever think of
To leave you unempty
'Cause I cannot say
How long this body
Can keep up with this
Fast-paced journey
I'm sorry if I must
Leave a scar in your heart
I have no choice, I can't
Make my leaving painless
Because this fiend
I'm fighting inside me
Could someday consume me
Till I'll never wake again
Be good, my son
And grant me a smile
For me to bring with me
To my eternal sleep.
