her cancer is your addiction... by Olivia Weinkeinher 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.

Posted by Nicole D Gregory on 08/19/08 at 03:47 PM 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 |
