Dotty Goes In
Dotty goes in for her surgery
in 2 days. The once-small lump
near belly button keeps growing.
Today it is a golf ball hemisphere.
It doesn’t bother her
like it bothers me. She writhes
on her back, purring, while
its red angry presence laughs.
Fuck you, tumor. Soon you
will be jarred, far away.
Dotty had surgery on July 7.

She is doing great, probably better than when she still had the tumor. Thank you for asking. There’s another poem coming that talks about diagnosis and prognosis.
