Cancer Patient

The beautiful sound of the rain
in the middle of the night.

Awake and asleep, light and dark, life and death.

A beautiful abstract painting—because life
is no longer real.

The soft touch of those painted flowers.

The dazzling NYC skyline—but right below:
a lonely street with figures known as
pedestrians.

The time it takes for the seconds to turn into minutes.

Life—out of which poetry is made—and death.
