I breathe ghosts
from India
never empty
never full.
lights in my house
turn themselves
off and on
heedless of time.
a simple turn
takes me a decade
to remember, to forget.
i stuff my swallowing
pockets sooner than sunrise
polite, but never a lady.
now it is time for
hugging the tree out loud
tall in serenity.

after eight days of hospital care
six nights of sleeping at UPenn
five different oncology nurses
and three straight days of chemotherapy infusions.
Round one of ICE is done!
I am finally home, stabilized, with a few short days to bask in my own home before we return, once again, for bloodwork and possible fluids on the 11th.
Next round of chemo: Feb 20th

Love you, gorgeous.
Now, if you could step out of my mind for just a few minutes I can get on with some work.
One day closer to a hug in June.
