your symptoms will still be the same.
Can't say which is worse, a malignance or mystery,
or which one is worse for the brain. .... the repetition of 'worse' sounds off
Pale entrails in cauldrons, wild pine nuts divining, ....
or oracle bones cloaked in smoke, .... the 'or ORACLE' makes me stutter, even in the head
would shame all the blood draws and blood sugar panels,
the blitheness of shrugging white coats. .... a great line
They quibble insurance while specters still linger
behind every negative test.
With questions unanswered and answers unquestioned,
we hold each breath tight to our chests.
Overall, a wonderful poem
