Out my window each night at the stars I would stare
‘Til the dawn lit the sky with its pastel fanfare
With the moon I would talk, her light in my hair
Her cratered eyes asked, Really why do you care

Seared by bombs and shootings
Left fewer and bereft, keening in the rubble

Jack Spratt could eat no fat
My husband rolls his eyes
That lucky guy! For one day he should try
My litany of allergies out for size
No beef, no lamb, nor nuts at that
Some fruits are even in cahoots
Doing Cancer (in loving memory of Jeanne Conover)
Posted in Randoms, Rogues and Outliers, tagged cancer treatment, haiku, hospice postwar Japan, hospital cancer ward, pancreatic cancer, poem on March 28, 2013 | Leave a Comment »
In the beginning, the white-frocked horseman of her apocalypse
Eyes averted, blurts she has pancreatic cancer in store
She rocks, absorbs our reeling shock then, pensive, quips
A curious “Well, I’ve never done cancer before.”
Eye of the Storm

Wind wails, fraught with ice
White on gray the roiling bay
Gulls remain, silent

Coming of age
Youth recedes with all its
Compelling purposes
What purpose now?

All lovers know time’s not the same
When parting as when meeting
It speeds perversely to farewells
And crawls when wanted fleeting
WELCOME!
