The Solid Black Blob

They found the mass, deeply embedded,

not far from the heart,

A rush ensued, diary dates not exceeding fourteen days,

keeping the cancer promise.

 

They saw an enemy to conquer.

I saw a solid black blob on an X-ray screen

in a darkened room.

The darkness was my friend. . . . .

Breast cancer in 2020 caused her to re-assess her life goals.
