 A new book to house this year's (and future years) NationalPoetryMonth's daily poems. |
|
I'm writing once again this year. This book is my special event place for thirty special poems. Here for National Poetry Month in 2018, I'm participating but life has not been kind in the last 15 months, so I'm not always in writing mode. |
| press a button, the hologram of my life stops spinning fat nauseous cells are burned away click play, no pain, no difference image: hope plus a cure, image: hope plus a longer life, add adjectives: happier, more loving, patient accepting, without warning I spin back into that hologram hell needing to be stopped, hit pause: doubt breaks apart the link between throat and voice, tears emerge contained from nowhere a hologram should know numbness claims other parts of my body my soul quivers again and the skirmish resumes, at night’s vigil I list accomplishments in one column, like soldiers ready for battle and dark horrors on the thirteenth page of bad luck, balance stymied peace tottering but for no reason my liver can hold responsible I drink only water, fruit juice and herbs the magic garden to rid myself of the burn and its nasty snail-slow trail, the nausea only grips my mind, flip switch at this thought the hologram cannot think without my brain and I accept the role of my own general in a fight that cannot be won but only be slowly tamed by counting the hours one flipped switch at a time untitled battle [2018.24.4...a] |
