It’s Easier to Write about Someone Else’s Cancer
One time supposedly friend
Confident, my ear
to help me
through those days
Now you suffer
stage 4, you say
Lung cancer
they told you
Love my cigs, you say
What’re you
going to do
radiation, chemo
with ensuing
chemo brain
Who will you call
while having your scotch
at 10:30 every
nights sleep
to talk one way
for your listener
And how do you
feel now,
Mister Death

Whoa! Love gripping title and final stanza! You’re on a roll!
Coming from you, I feel most humbled. Well, more coming! Gracias
