I’m not well

Not in
television
movie of the week
cancer warrior style

I’m not wrapped
around a porcelain
bathroom bowl

(although,
the whole
food thing
is weird)

My hair
has not
fallen out
yet

(although, it feels weird)

No.

I am so very tired.

This fatigue
I have no words for

Cannot
for the life of me
convey the experience
to another

I have
occasional
fevers,
a bad thing

So I rest

a lot

and channel
my best Camille
playing around
with French words
I don’t know

dreaming of roses
and soft voices
and even softer kisses
