Just a normal day
until the ring tone
until the caller ID
until my brain registered
doctor’s office calling
and my ear hear that voice.
Phone in hand
and feet moving across the floor
looking, seeking
a still place, a warm place
to get the words that would chill my heart.
The word was given
unasked for, unbiddened
The word that stopped the wind
The word that gathered the clouds
The word that locked my brain
and froze my soul.
Cancer was the word
and the word is cancer.
In that word, my world
stopped spinning
and my soul stopped riding the winds.
