Cancer
Dedicated to Patrick Swayze, who is enduring the fight of his life.
To my friend Dana, who lost hers; to my landlord; and to my friend Mireya in Ecuador. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.
You interrupt our lives
wiping out all hope;
I can’t figure out why
they got you on a horoscope.
You’re a sentence in one word,
a battle we must endure;
we’ll defeat you, somehow beat you,
together we will find a cure. – Jacqueline Hallenbeck
