You've been through it already.
I'm going through exactly what you battled...

“Wait for better days."
I hear it again and again...

I waited.
I wait...

Anxiously, I sit against the
wall of a 90-year-old theatre...

When first faced with my own mortality,
I had little fear...

Autumn and spring are written in your heels;
they are brothers and sisters you may not...

Oh God!
I know writing these words...

You nudged me in white rings of escape,
my fingers drifting across your hazel drops...

Beyond the shadows lies a creature so horrid,
That all who hears its sinister name spoken...

...

I taste the heat of summer's past afternoon,
even though night has cooled like a canopy...

My cross feels much heavier
than any weight I've pulled before...
