Daily Mediations

Attacks against tissues and cells and soul,

it is unrelenting,

firecrackers underneath the skin.

No difference between healthy and un.

The boomerang circles the perimeter,

it is persistent,

like a dripping faucet.


Mediate

between my body

and my body.


Fight back against the missiles

with physical therapy to stretch the limbs

to stay elastic,

to savor the tingling pins of a heated pack. 

With lunch five pills of methotrexate,

five with dinner

same day once a week,

every week.


Mediate

between my body

and my body.


Extinguish the flames of exhaustion with a warm shower, 

Inhale the lavender steam,

There is no surrender.

Only persistence,

Only compassion,

Only resilience, like a wayward soul seeking a home.
