Not Poetry

hiding its identity
her chronic disease
plays his attributes loudly
she laughs in pain
one step closer

dr. by necessity
poet by the missed
mom by instinct
child by foolishness
getting closer to bingo winner

so many flares up
so many remissions
so many wrong diagnosis
so many years of confusion
she knows best her body language

getting closer
for the flag to flutter
upon her mountain of pain
she laughs
as her numb fingers are the ones
