More than another straw
added one by one
to the camel’s back,
to the baggage she carries
The word, the diagnosis,
Cancer, more, much more;
Another brick, added to the hod
to the load she must carry
Every day, one on one,
so young, so much hurt;
pain so deep, raw still
another brick; but
she carries it too
