Always On the Brink of the End of My Life…by Robert M. Katzman
Thanksgiving Day
November 2010 by Robert M. Katzman
Bathed
In
Radiation
At
Year One
I
Have
Been
Endlessly
Waiting
Waiting
For
Death
The cancer
Came to me
At
Eighteen
Changing
Everything
Work
Risk
Love
Plans
All
In the
Shadow
Of:
What Next?
And
When?
All
My
Grandparents
Died
One after another
And
I was
Relieved
They
Didn’t live to
See
Their Grandchild
Die
And
I waited
Waited
For
Death
I met a girl
We fell in love
I married her
Will
We
Grow
old
Together?
My
Father
Died
I was
Relieved
I
Survived
Him
But
Also
Surprised
My
Mother
Died
I was
Relieved
I
Survived
Her
But
Also
Surprised
My
Sister
Died
Jesus Christ!!
Where is everybody?
