Where are you heading?
Is it gonna make you happier?
The cancer is spreading
And your stubbornness is the barrier.
How to make you realize, I’m just trying to give you a hand.
But instead you look at me as if I was holding the gun.
So now I’m just breaking my head,
Struggling to find a way to make you understand.
Asking myself, “Why are you putting me through this?
What did I ever do to push you this far?”
All I’m left with now is to reminisce,
To watch you fade, to drift even further than a star.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
