what is cancer?
deprivation
of energy
a hole inside me
parasite feeding on me;
eradicate it
silent predator
devours in voracious stealth;
abstracted nature
alien feeding
slowly extracting my soul;
I will not die yet
perseverance pays…
treatment begets results:
rejoice! hope restored

I present a collaboration between myself and my good friend, Patricia Spork. This haiku sequence (mixture of modern and traditional) was written last year between us.

thank you, Libby! glad you found it uplifting too – it was very “releasing” to write…
