What I want to say is That I am terrified, petrified, horrified, Not only of the process of watching him Slip away, slowly, painfully. But knowing it could happen to Me. What I want to say is That his parasite could be inside me Or my sisters. And we won’t know till it’s too late So can you just stop? Stop sending my mind on this spiral Consumed by fear, grief, heartache, and pain.
What I say is “ He’s doing okay. ”
