Radiation Reflections (Free verse) by sarah
raging, remorseful, and rancid
radiation in action
even twenty years later
it acts just like it hates her
it abates her
it agitates her
it won't debate her
and it will destroy her
secondary unplanned damned diseases
eating away at her as they pleases
which of the organs will next get the wheezes?
and which will be "it" to filch her to the freezers?
it all berates me badly now
the daughter she endowed
so humble, bad, and proud
i remember well holding her hair
as she puked from the chemo that kept her here
it allowed me a mother and kills her with care
not to die with a shotgun, but dragged with despair
raging, remorseful, and rancid
radiation in action
even twenty years later
it acts just like it hates her
it abates her
it agitates her
it won't debate her
and it will destroy her
