Illness

 

Illness stalks

relentless desperado

unraveling sanguine dreams

disconnecting hope

from illusion.

 

Pandora's box of maladies

hidden in the attic

beneath the pile of

old photographs and faded momentoes

discovered and opened by

mischievous fortune.

 

Within life's unruly matrix

suffering is the host

humans despise yet

whose company is expected.

 

Disease has laid relentless siege

upon my family,

leaves me frustrated

i possess no power to

deter its blinding course or

avert its chaotic fervor.

 

Illness stalks,

indeed it must

allowing biology to pursue

its cyclic nature and

build anew from fallen timbers.
