About Breast Cancer.....a poem...c/c?
My best friend since...er...5th grade..has invasive breast cancer and stage 3 and bad prognosis...full mastectomy coming...and this poem is a response ...as her husband might be feeling...cuz he's a jerk. =)
he crept in
a thief and
stole her while i
oblivious
smugly fit her into her
woman role her
obligation
no woman's libber
she and he had to
tear her rip her shred
her female role from
her rending flesh and
femininity leaving
in it's stead
horrendously manlike
strength
and i
forced to condone this
new she this
new her this
incubus
feared it would
consume
me also
and yeah the technical aspects of the poem suck..first one in monyhs...i think i lost my poetry ! =)))
you yahooers are so dependably compassionate and understanding wgen someone shares a hard reality...i always know I'll leave here once more reassured of the goodness of people. Thank you.
My friend's cancer is spreading outside the breasts and has been classed as "life threatening" now.

there is a terrible bloom
that haunts this melancholy spring
it hides away from the light
that draws the rest of creation skyward

Maybe try some grammar and sort the sentences so that they fit better.
He crept in, a thief
and stole her
while I, oblivious,
smugly fitted her
into her women's role.
Her obligation.
No woman's libber
she and he had to
tear her, rip her.
Shred her female role
from her rending flesh.
And femininity leaving
in it's stead, horrendously,
manlike strength and i,
forced to condone this
knew she..this,
knew her..this
incubus.
I feared it would
consume
me as well.

I am always astonished when I hear of this kind of reaction on the part of a husband.
What part exactly of a woman did they marry?
And with Doe I will send out thoughts to the Universe for your friend.
As for your words - I like the abruptness that functions much as a scalpel would, the jerking rhythm like the rude awakening a woman has to face confronted by a man such as this.

Oh no you are not lost - still very poetic. I hear what your words are saying and I will pray for your friend.
Many years ago my best friend had lung cancer (terminal). She had never been out of the state she lived in and she showed an interest in going to Canada which was only 2 hours away. He husband said No and I talked back and begged and was told to shut the f up. She told me in her loving way that it was okay, it didn't bother her that he was such a selfish p -so it shouldn't bother me. She must a saint.

Sin, I miss you when I miss you and rules be damned in this.
I been fightin Lymphoma more than a year and the cure
is often worse than the infliction
and leaves one in mind and body, feelin impure.
I do the PINK walks and events everytime one happens
if not so much to support with money, but as a similar sister.
Hugs you for this.

I"m more into the drumsticks but I'll take a thigh. I do use breasts for a lot of my cooking though. But Fried chicken...it has to be the legs.

Nothing like the scalpel to separate the jerks from real men. Your poem speaks volumes and you will never lose poetry, it is part of your being.

your poetry still there. Cancer is a resentment disease. Keeping the explosion inside in little bits hiding in a dark room corner wishing silent death. It comes when the person's refused combat too many times because of fear. Healthier and happier the one who fights and loses his teeth or his life than the one who keeps resentment inside.

No, not of your usual caliber but one that speaks from emotion. You'll have the time and skill later to really finish this. It appears you more now needed to voice the words. Hold your friend close, she'll need your love.

what thief is this
invisible
stealing silently
your limbs
your possessions
your life
leaving only
true friends
and true family
and that would be enough
except
when you look in their eyes
you see that thief
stealing you from them
