Another shock to the system a few days just gone when second visit to chemo it came along In our understanding this block was the last then a rest for my body to recover, but - blast...
That wasn't it and not it at all at least twenty weeks (I felt I would fall) off of the teetering tower I was on It was a bitter pill swallowed when that came along
Oncology meantime will be monitoring me and this cancer that's growing insidiously But these first chemo sessions to the summer will go before I'll see respite and a rest then to show
The saving grace is if there's one there at all is the level of drugs is now rather small So the side effects which have taken me out have stopped doing that to give 'normal' a shout
When you're under the weather and feeling quite ill
and you're not at all sure if you're quite yourself still
and everything aches and all energy's gone
and you can't string two words together for long
You know that it's time to stay warm in bed
and let sleep the good healer do its stuff instead
as though at present it's naff and you're not feeling clever
you know you'll get better and this won't last forever
...all about me and my life in words. I write most days, carrying an ideas book around in which I capture a word snapshot of life around me. So there's a lot here about Sussex and the sea and anything else I see that inspires.
The pictures are mine too. Some taken to match a poem; some poems written to match a pic; others chosen because they work well with words written.
Jemverse is life in words. Hope you enjoy the reading as much as I enjoy the writing...
