opps tittle got messed up. i am in school and i have just come across this and i would like to share this with you guys.
Jane Levin:
I’m Becoming More Forgetful
I am becoming more forgetful.
Friends laugh
tell stories about
misplaced keys
forgotten names.
A few gently ask if chemo did this to me.
My doctor refers me for an MRI.
You don’t understand.
For just one moment
I forgot that I
have/had/may have
cancer.
I have become a magician
watching in amazement
as fear disappears.
Sounds of audible delight escape
as the faint outline
of hope
materializes.
and as hope takes shape
remembering begins.
