Diagnosis

by cassie hughes   May 4, 2021


Isn’t it strange
how time can twist and change?
A day becomes a week
then reduces to a blink
of an eye.
Hospital scent overlays each tick
of the unruly clock
as needles prick in endless
rounds of what and why
then smothers all
in one quick choking squeeze
before cancer
grins a smug hello.
