Cancer
She is nothing more than epoxy
    a shadow of myself
  who happened to stand at the feet of the fir trees
  while the wind whispered my name
   she broke in tumultous waves
    dizziness correcting her eyeglasses
     until they resembled mine
 Finally she woke
 
   with the face of someone who has lived so long before
 
 and says Athens is a just
 
 
  placability
   until i move in
 
     in stages, you;
 
   but the unafraid was me
   she sleeps on rice that has gone bad
    it has been that way for 
 
 
   two weeks now
 The trust fund prompts her to
 speak of her own guilt
 
 
 like it was mine.
 
  it is, i guess. 
 
     i guess it is.
