her cancer is your addiction...

by Olivia Weinkein

her cancer
is your addiction
there's your food for thought
on a rainy night,

telephone, disconnected.

interstates still swarming
with faces you'll never touch.

maybe you should have just loved
her once.

Ah, the guilt we carry and even put upon others. Tough but nicely done lady.

Wow! Well written. I read your postings and am so impressed and wish I could share with you "my chicago" because it is so beautiful (from other works of yours); and each time you write I feel the conviction and depth. You show a real strength in your work... a strength from the inside; and I really admire that. ~N
