Tonight I taste your cancer: For Mary Anne Curtin, (1922 - 2009)
Tonight I taste your cancer,
my memory of your agony so real
and tangible
that I try hard to get rid of it -
mints, toothpaste, mouthwash, soap.
Tonight I hear your cancer too -
the brutality of your words was the vehicle
that tried to burn our bridges.
If I could do just one thing tonight,
I would reach out and hold your freezing hand,
one more time.
Miss you, Mom
