diagnosis

"Neuroendocrine tumour",
I can say now say with humour
and a nod of recognition.

This is the best news of all
As the odds were not good and hope was small,
But now I face an operation and small salvation.

So bring on the art and the writing
and stop the procrastinating!

Life is waiting to be lived.

The Fly

I wonder if the fly
Questions when it will die
Poor fly,
Or if it wonders why.

Family

The tree goes on and on
With vigorous growth,
But the leaf dies.
