Beautiful and bald,
Before the eyebrows left me –
Chemo days – burning,
Tapping into grace,
The pain rarely reached my face, –
My mind, outer space.
Rockstar shirt, rockstar friends –
I dug deeply for the mend,
Hopeful, fierce, silly –
Ninja ducks, quacking –
Crack a smile in pain,
Hope to fly again.
Becoming ok
With what my body says heals,
With not liking it.
Becoming ok
With my truest of natures,
No shame; love, just being.
Second month of chemo, August 2015.
