like a hang up all round
tumors grow into her chest
lymphoma diffused large "b" cell stage III
dictionary table side to understand
linguistics
learning a new language
each piece of vernacular
within the throat
lurching into the atmosphere
a bone marrow scrape
dogs eat the marrow from chicken and cow bones as a snack
she isn't old enough to have all these needles
chemotherapy
take the meds to get ready for the meds
when we were younger they told us
drugs are bad mkay
"i had to free myself from the images which in the past had announced me to the things i sought" - italo calvino
