The mind takes detours

Breast Cancer, PoetryBy brendawritesMay 5, 2014Leave a comment

I can. Yes I can. I will. Beat this I will. Then. Tears well up. In between sentences and silences. Then. I can do this. Everything will be OK. You can beat this Brenda. Then. Tears well up in wonder while waiting. —Brenda Johima
