CANCER IN MY BRAIN
Ashok Niyogi
Sometimes the pain is too much to bear:
This cancer in my brain.
Shadows go about their daily chores.
I know all about the changing of the shifts.
I am here to stay.
This low-grade fever, it doesn’t go away.
I tell the doctors
These are the last vestiges of passion.
This fever is here with me to stay.
We are affianced, this fever and I
So how does it matter if tomorrow is another day?
--There is no day appointed in the scriptures
To shoot myself in the head.
