Relief

“Day and Night” by Modern Art Prints

 

daylight dimensions blaze golden

draw life into relief

against endless darkness of

death in the night

 

 

From my book Bohemian Scents

Cancer

“Out of Agony Comes Beauty” by Carla Saunders

chain reactional

morbid explosions

genetically flawed

broken helical strands

carry cruel obscene

mutated seeds

predisposing a vile

self-destructive

dividing devouring

triggered by terrible

infinitesimal clocks

black and bleak

with grim biochem

sprockets and springs

body turns on itself

time and treatment

its weapons that

painfully hammer

a life to its knees

crush the spirit

maul dignity

sharp tragic irony

casting the specter

of death

in new light

of the hero

to bring sweet relief

and in the relief rises

beauty unblemished

regained of humanity

healthy and whole

and forever

remembered
