my daughter had leukemia at 6 years old
shes still around thanx to a bone marrow transplant
from her brother which was a sibling match
she took on his blood type....and a Y chromosome
there are some amazing stories in the world of cancer

this painting is me during last infusion 40 minutes in to a 90 minute infusion my head, neck, and ears were on fire my chest tightened and my legs felt flushed to the toes and i began to shake my son summoned my nurse but right behind her were All the nurses this was far from their first rodeo calm ...

onward we go jammin' into May and beyond I miss judih so much there is a hole in my heart that will never close up I hope you have found the souls of wireman and constantine and can riff a little with words that soothe us all, words given to us without our knowing that old collecttive consciousness ...

im lucky I guess
I have a dirty dishwasher
not a machine it's me

with cancer
it helps to be a prancer
to trod upon its abnormality
and it helps to be a dancer
to spin in circles of resistance
the journey means
many challenges will stare you in the eye
but you are the romancer
and can extract gems of tolerance

dirty dish offering
for the fat mice and waterbugs
dirty wishes

I lke this ! personally the only good thing about cancer treatment is the vivid dreams which I remember upon waking at night, I've even gone back into the dream I was having upon waking I would'nt say it's worth getting cancer for but it's pretty great not that I can offer you a clue to knowing more...

dry for weeks 'round here
could use as slow steady rain
it's feast or famine

sat in the garden
my avian friends come by
sing some sacred songs

14 M words in a row....Magnificent

thanx roy !

yesterday
the coffee didn't work....
was in a wrestling match
with a mucular migraine
and there wasn't enough
caffiene in the world
to pull out a victory
and so, pinned to the mat
I surrendered
uncle
no mas
