Docetaxel* 1

abigfatcanofworms Personal Reflection August 22, 2021August 22, 2021 1 Minute

serrated horizon
how the mountains
carve the sky

prick of daggers
evergreens' green blades 
slice white into the blue

whingeing bones
lean and creak
against the west

that high whine
wind buzz
friction zippered in

Earth’s old joints
the hammers’
patternless bruising

*Docetaxel is a chemotherapy drug

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms

Breathtaking. Love the mountain’s carving and all the other connectors, the four-leaf clover buttons in the meadowy blouse.

This is excruciatingly painful, and all I can say is this is very well written.

great images of grating pain: love ‘friction zippered in’ and ‘whingeing bones’ —
