The Liquid Is Pure, Clean, Clear
As It Drip Drip Drips...
Life Giving Serum Ticking Away
The Precious Gift Of Time
As It Buys Me A Little More...
The Perky Nurse Named Ruby,
A Gem Of A Young Latina,
Sparkling Under The Pressure
Of Liquid Death
For Those Whose Tick Has Tocked.
The Neon Pink Steri-Wrap A Shock
To The Senses
Of This Lily White, Bleached Clean
Covid Void Of A Hospital Room.
I Like It... PINK...
The Anthem Of The BreastLess Women Who Survive.
The Pink Ladies Marked Forever More
As Survivors Or Succumbers
I, The Former, For Now,
As The Tick Still Tocks.
I Look Out Of The Window To
The Blue Skies... No Clouds Today
No...
A Cross Reflected Unseen To The Naked Eye
But The I of the Apple Captures The Blessing...
The Spring Green Tree Tops Reminding Me
That The Ascent, Can Give One A New Perspective...
But I Don't Want To Go Up There Just Yet...
I Prefer The Green Of The Grass Beneath My Feet
Thank You Very Much,
The Cool Brown Earth, Fresh From The Winter's Break
The Liquid Snow, Turned, To Nourish The Coming Spring.
Pure. Clean.
Drip. Drip.
I Am ReBorn...
A Chance To Start ANew...
Drip, Drip...
Tick, Tock
Thank God For The Clock
As Long As I See
As Long As I Hear
I Know I Am Here...
