Ode to the Cancer!

The past
Lead to this point,
Where all dreams, 
Intermediate and distant
Comes into question.

Fact of impermanence,
Of changeability,
Of death

Becomes stark,
Real and unavoidable.

So many unknowns,
Of outcomes,
Of specialized tests
Of more results
Of direction

These are days
Of larger “disappointments”
Of uninvited transitions
Of deep sadness.

These are days
Of "waiting"

Few weeks down,
Few more to go!
