the blood of bulls
runs through my body
anger, sadness,
and confusion,
swim throughout my cells
miles away my friend
cries tears into wishing wells
she too is slowly dying,
her faith has gone astray
strength is slipping away
selfish me
full of life unhappily
dying to get to heaven
living in hell
selfless her
dreading heaven
desiring hell
dying of sickle cell.
