Your Ugly Back
Cancer, old devil.
I've shaken my fists at your
Ugly back as
You've laid your
Hands on my loved
Ones.
Cursed your name;
Kicked at your
Shadow. At last you've
Gathered the
Courage to
Face me. I
Suppose you could only
Ignore me for so
Long.
Come at me with scythe
Raised, I'll stand,
Broadsword
Drawn.
No shield; double-
Grip-swinging.
I'm ready.
No nurse ever saw
You greeted
With
A smile like
This.
