“My friend is dying
dying in the next couple of days
they took out almost all her liver but
the cancer has spread
Next week it’s her nineteenth birthday”
I turn from my computer screen
“Sorry to hear that” I say
I am sitting uncomfortable;
a tangled mess of intestines
chicken breast lungs
a brain, somewhere
alive, for now
in my wooden chair
Well written my friend!
Thank you Shouvik

Been there. Well done, no false theatrics, just the facts in an economy of words.
Nice. Sad but real. Thanks for liking my post.
