Precipice

Photo taken at Meow Wolf Houston in the Speaking in Reflections room created by @neonthrash (a room that is a vibe and respite for my mind right meow)

Precipice

My belly full of peach pits.
My head full of questions.
Hot flashes hittin in the humid Houston dazzzze.

Admittedly,
like this poem,
I feel completely nuts.

Anxiety warms me like a fever.
Morning mattress melt.

Before After
In between

Tonight-
no midnight snackin to begin fastin for the
Post-Treatment PET Scan.

Tomorrow-
they will prick my finger,
take my blood,
fill me with radioactive sugar, and
they scan scan scan while I
breathe breathe breathe and don't
move move move.

Day After Tomorrow-
…

We wait for results.
We live.
We pray.
We imagine an abundance of healthy cells at a silent disco!

We wait…
We.

You are there.
Meeting me where I am at.
Reading my words.
Reminding me,
resolutely,

I am not alone.
